To be in love with a beautiful woman is a heavy thing.
Inspired by Kundera, all my youth has been the obsessive focus towards lightness.
Jealousy is a category of phenomena that I have observed, but never understood. My gut reaction is always 'live and let go,' and I always seem to find another girl. There is no shortage of beautiful women in this world.
The scarcity of beautiful women is the biggest myth told to man. They are all over the place, you just need to know where to look, and how to be. There is always another.
I often have daydreams similar to the movie
Crazy Stupid Love
where I take some man under my wing and explain my views on dating and finding women and being attractive-- a weird blend of my own personal misogyny, bequeathed to me by my own father, and confidence.
Needless to say, dating has always been a light affair with me. Until I met Kate. We met at a bar downtown and immediately fell into a grove with one another. There are people in the world where your personalities match and the fire of repertoire reaches a bonfire ine less than five minutes. Kate and I were like that for one another.
Kate is 5' 5'' with short brown hair, cut to frame her face, with a medium sized nose and big bright eyes. The most apparent features of Kate are her eyes and her mouth. Everything else falls into the backdrop when I look at her, a blankness, blending her a strange amorphous focus.
Kate has confident eyes that stare right back at you, they feel not the need to look away every so often like most eyes. They are there to dance with you, not look down. Her eyes are different from a stare. I get the feeling of her eyes piercing into me, genuinely interested, trying to understand what is there.
Kate's eyes pierce into me, while her sharp red mouth pours conversation. The first time I looked at Kate an instinctive urge to have my way with her, to just take her, came over me. It was a shameful thought, but it possessed me nonetheless. I just wanted, no needed, my mouth against hers, a taste of her. I didn't even really want to fuck her so much as I wanted to just kiss her, to possess that mouth, to have her mouth against me.
My first words to Kate were something stupid, of that I am sure, but I do not remember what they were. I was entranced by Kate, her mouth and those eyes. I spewed introductory garbage that festers in every meeting, but we quickly fell into the groove of comfortable conversation.
And the next thing I knew, my arm was around her and we were walking to her apartment.
