Story of my life...or is it??

Writing about different experiences while looking for love.

It's so hard to know where to start.

You want to start at the begining but where is that really??

There are so many players in the story that to start at the begining seems such a long way away.

Seems more prudent to explain who the players are as I go along.

I want to start with Henry, (names have been changed to protect the identity of characters in this story), why i didnt choose him, his demeanor and his way of trying to guilt me into seeing things his way. He was 5'11" smooth milk chocolate, and from Jamaica. He didnt last long. Actually I never even got to meet him.

I'll sprinkle him with Jomo, tall, 6'1" dread with the most beautiful mocha coloring. Everytime I envision him it's always from the back, standing with hands on hips, hair down to his waist stareing out across the streets. I cant rememer what he was looking at now, but I do remember the curve of his back as his t-shirt clung to him that day and the way his pants hugged his hips, I remember thinking, "if I could only hold on to this moment for a lifetime it would be the sweetest thing I've ever tasted." In my mind he's my true love, soul mate if you believe in that sorta thing.

Alex, he comes in a close 2nd behind Jomo in the way I feel for him. It's been a year, we haven't officially "met" again, but we know each other. We grew up together and spent our elementary and 1st year of High School life together but lost touch for about 25 years before being in contact with each other again.

And lastly there is Stanley, though he would prefer to be called Sabastian. A dark chocolate brotha whose life is so drama filled it may take a book to put it all down.

How do I get across that in my journey for love these are some of the ppl I have met along the way? Some whose energy were compatible with mine and others...well, others whose wern't!

How do you do that in understandable languge to ppl who havent been there from the start...hhmmm, I dont know, but I'll try.

Follow along if you can.
