Hi there! I am very much relieved right now since later on yesterday evening. Yesterday early eve I was feeling heart broken over a letter my boyfriend Vito wrote me, telling me how I truly have made no time for him. I had no clue what to do because I was so sad, but two darling friends told me what I should do. Iheartbadtz told me to talk to Vito, Pink my dear friend from childhood told me the same thing. Pink actually took me inside to talk to me. She told me that even though she does not have a boyfriend of her own yet, she understands how both Vito and I feel, from his point of view he must feel like an extra tire that is not needed while in real life he is the key to my journey of love, while in my view I am so caught up in a rain storm of events that I have not realized how much time I’ve spent looking for the car ignition to actually start the drive to that journey. (I find it both beautifully poetic and funny how she compared the relationship to a car.^^.), In other words I’ve had good reason why I have not set time aside for being with the very one I love (search for the ignition to start the car and the rain storm), but it is time that I stop concentrating on the events and start involving him (the key) in the events so we can face them together (the journey).  I never thought about allowing Vito to go through the many things happening along the way with me.  So I went out, a bit hesitant at first, I was not sure if he wanted to talk to me but I went to him anyway:

Lily: Vito, can we talk?

Vito: *Gives a surprised look then relaxing his face into his depressed mood* Sure.

Lily: *sits down next to him* I know that I have not been hanging out with you for awhile.

Vito: If it’s about the letter, I should of not written it, I did not mean for it to sound so harsh…

Lily: No, no! The letter was not harsh at all. It made me realize what I was doing to you.

Vito: Don’t worry, I know it’s because you have so much to do, I understand.

Lily: No you don’t, I’ve been pushing you away without knowing it, thinking I was avoiding any stress from coming to you. I did not tell you what was going on, or try to even involve you so you can share with me in my journey, and that is what I want to do the most with you, share my joy, share my sorrow, share my up and down with the one I love…you.

Vito:…Really? You worried about stressing me? You can never stress me, we’ve been through a lot together, and it has been crazy but I always was happy to know that I can be there for you, and you can be there for me. I love you, love isn’t about always being happy everyday, it is about knowing someone cares enough to go through anything with you, to be that person standing by your side when the storm is over. *takes Lily’s hands*, never ever be afraid to involve me in your experiences, no matter how horrible they are, I will not run away and leave you alone to face them. Besides, if you have your best friend Pink backing you up, what makes you think that your knight in shining armor won’t do the same?

Lily: Oh Vito, I’m sorry for not letting you in on things happening with me.

Vito: I’m sorry for not asking earlier.

After that we stood there for awhile, starring into each others eyes, at one with nature, until I noticed a couple of flashes, turned in the direction of the front door to Pink’s house, and saw her standing there with a big smile on her face, and camera in her hands. We all laughed and she sent me the picture this morning by e-mail, I think it is one of the most beautiful pictures she has ever sent me.^^.
