Fall 2007
A few months ago I was told something that’s been walking around in my head. I was told I gave away the key to my heart, but I didn’t show the lock.
Maybe showing your heart is like turning a lamp on yourself or taking away cloud cover. It gives people the ability to really see you, not who you want to be though, just you - with all the rust and riches that are included. Showing your heart, parting the clouds - it’s not a spectacle it’s just the stars and night sky that’s always been there, but no one has been able to experience.
The human heart is a night sky, a dark space containing many bright spots. All of the good and the bad of your life is there on the midnight tapestry, deep black shaded corners of your worst coupled with the glittering stars of your best. I think seeing a person’s heart is like looking at the night sky, they wear it like a blanket. If you know someone, you know their stars, the constellations of themselves. I think all of my stars are on the inside and I don’t know how to get them out.
Sometimes during the most thrilling moments in life the sun begins to ever so slightly peek over the horizon and turn the whole place into a tremendous shade of twilight. A glowing warm immersed in orange and violet. It is there then, in those times, that we are falling in love.

I used the wrong analogy, my friend, or perhaps that too, it was misunderstood. If I could best try to relate what my heart was trying to tell you at that time, to your analogy here, it would go something like this...
Your stars have Always shown SO magnificently bright in my eyes that I never saw the dark. Never. Only when you are gone from my life do I feel the darkness, like my sky has left me. Like I've found a big black hole and I can't find my way out.
You mentioned once "all or nothing" well, you are right, I wanted all of you, Stars And Darkness, good and bad. All I ever saw was the good when we were together and perhaps glommed onto the ole' phrase "too good to be true".
But hey, the good news is, after a little searching, I found the "dark" side of Brett(Jamesly). This side of you, you never revealed to me. You've got some serious angsts on this page(in your head), my friend. I only Pray that I never become one of them. But, I know I'm just like everyone else, we are All perfectly flawed, so i know that i too have my dark spots. Example: Love is Patient. I am not. 27 years of impatient living, it's a horrible character flaw that's gotten me no where. So I am learning to Wait with Joy and Hope.
