She Vanished
Had she gone missing before I met and fell in love with her,
Neither of us would have experienced any sense of loss.
She would have remained beautiful in her own way, and I
would have gone through life never knowing what it felt
like to be in a relationship and interwoven with her.
Before meeting her and really getting to know her, I had
no interest in her type, and allowing her to be a part of
my life was unthinkable. That is, or that was until I
was introduced to her nearly two years ago.
At first, I questioned the reason for such an introduction.
Why would my friend think that I was interested in her type?
But once we got acquainted, she just felt so right for me.
I had gone so long without giving such a one the slightest
chance of becoming a part of my life. But perhaps with such a
sudden introduction and encounter, I had reached a point in my
life where I was ready for change. I don't really know why.
But I tell you, overnight, I became the better for it.
Nevertheless, this relationship was short-lived because after
enjoying the warmth of our relationship, and after liking the way
I looked and felt with my very first pair of 'red socks', they came
up missing and have been thus for several months.
I've had many a missing sock that was never found but, in this case,
The entire pair of socks is missing. What is not missing is the way those
socks made me feel. If I should fail to locate them, I shall buy a new pair.
