I was in the worst place when I wrote that last blogpost in October. Its amazing how one can go from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs in a matter of weeks. (and no, I’m not bi-polar, I don’t think so anyway). This weekend has simply been amazing (as A would say, lol)
B (who lives in Philadelphia) and I met several years ago on Facebook back before it was such a huge website. We wrote emails back and forth for probly a year before we finally talked on the phone. I jokingly called him my internet facebook boyfriend and we continued to remain facebook friends for a very long time. Then last year I got an opportunity to visit a friend in New York City. When I mentioned my trip to B he said we should meet up as Philly was only a couple hours from NYC. So we did, on Halloween night. We went on a date that night and it was the most fun and unforgettable date I’ve ever had. There’s nothing quite like having a date in NYC, eating at a wonderful “off the beaten path” restaurant, making friends with the bartender while having desert in a small wine bar, getting caught in the rain, trying to get on a subway that is packed full of people in Halloween costumes, walking with arms around each other squeezed together under a small umbrella down a New York City street at night, and enjoying a peaceful train with B’s head resting against my shoulder as we ride the last nightly train back to the Northern NYC suburbs.
Skip ahead almost one year to the day. . . B is a professional singer and called me a couple weeks ago to tell me he had a choral concert planned for a venue just 15 minutes from my apartment. He politely asked if he could stay at my place. Um. . . Hell yes I said.
So I pick up B this past Saturday after he spent the entire day rehearsing for his concert. He was tired so we ran by the grocery store and picked up some nibbles and a movie and spent the evening lounging on the couch watching Toy Store 3. Its been forever since I’ve had that kind of evening and I totally enjoyed it and especially B’s company.
Sunday we woke up and headed out to my favorite breakfast place and then B was off again to rehearsal. Later in the afternoon I went to the venue and for the first time was able to hear B sing in a concert. He has an amazing voice and although the music really isn’t my style, I throughly enjoyed the concert. Ever since I first met B I had wanted to hear him sing in this type of setting. That evening we again had a low key night even though we had planned to go out for drinks. Spending quality time together was much more important that socializing since we had such limited time together.
Today we got up early and lounged around until we decided that B should have an abbreviated tour of KC. I took him to all the usual tourist and historic areas around my place. We had a great time taking pictures and quickly exploring all the sites. After a great BBQ lunch we headed back to my place to talk and spend our last couple of hours together. I took B to the airport around 4:30pm tonight and it was all I could do to keep my tears back. We said our long goodbyes in the drop off lane and I watched as B walked into the Airport.
As I write this B is 33,000 feet in the air somewhere over Indiana. The apartment is quiet and I miss his smile. But its good. And I’m happy. Happy I not only got to spend time with my internet facebook boyfriend once, but twice. Happy that we get along so well. Happy knowing I’m still attractive to people (yes, I have poor self esteem. . . very poor) Happy I spent a wonderful weekend with a wonderful person.
We’ve already talked about possibly meeting up in Chicago early next Spring or possibly me going to Philly for a visit. I believe if its meant for us to meet again, it will happen. But who knows what will be going on in our lives by then. Its entirely possible that by then B may meet up with his one true love or maybe I could even do the same. (maybe we have) But even so, I’m sure we always remain friends and I’ll always have that special place in my heart for that special guy from Philly with the amazing voice.
Goodbye for now B, I look forward to seeing you again soon.
