Just Another Person

That evening in the bus she was just another person. That evening on the boat she was just another person. That night when I bid her good night she was just another person. But two week hence she is but just another person.

That day when I first started chatting with him online, he was just another person. That day when he first read my blog he was just another person. But today two months later and tens of chat later he is but another person.

When she added me, she was just another person. We started chatting and she was just another person. She shared herself with me, her feelings, her thoughts, she was just another person. But today three months latter, I wait for her online she is but just another person.

He was just another person that day, but today we share the same apartment. He is but just another person. In our journey of life we meet lots of people. Some for a second and some stick around a life time. But for someone to be more then “Just another person” it takes more then time. We humans are emotional beings. For us above all things emotion is most important and valuable. A smile from a total stranger down a street can become more then “Just a smile”. It’s the connection in life. As emotional as we are, we are even more analytical. We question relationships, we question faith, we question commitment. We question everything that a relationship can be based on.

You know when have I seen a person most happy. I see them most happy when they are playing with a kid. Have you ever stopped and thought why we are so happy when we play with a kid. I’ll tell u why. Cause we know the kid will not question the relation. The kid is happy with wht he gets. He accepts everything. That’s an unconditional relationship right out there. Why can’t we be like that with each other.

When somebody means more then just another person, that’s when we have to stop thinking, stop using our head but let the heart control the relation.

Wow you can't complain about getting a complex. You express yourself quite intricately too.
