Trapped


I would like to believe that I'm in love. With someone I don't know and who didn't figure in my plans at all. All these years of self-control, of denying love, have had exactly the opposite result: I have let myself be swept away by the first person to treat me a little differently.

It's just as well I don't have her phone number, that I don't know where she lives; that way, I can lose her without having to blame myself for another missed opportunity.

And if that is what happens, if I have already lost her, I will at least have gained one very happy day in my life. Considering the way the world is, one happy day is almost a miracle.
