A little background is needed. I’ve been chatting and video calling with a guy for the last two months or so. We seem to have really hit it off in the chemistry department. Lots of pet names and terms of endearment (sweetie, honey, etc.) are casually tossed back and forth during conversation. In short, I feel that this has the potential to really grow into something.
A few weeks ago he sent me this poem. Actually it’s not a poem, but a Doris Day song. But when you send something like this without the accompanying music, it’s poetry right?
Here’s the preceding e-mail trail:
Me: I can’t sleep.
Him: Try this (sends me an MPEG clip of soothing sounds of nature)
Me. Thanks for that… I have a secret.
Him: Tell me, maybe it will help you fall asleep.
Me: I can’t, then it won’t be a secret any more.
He responds with the following:
I’m of the opinion that nobody sends something like this unless there is some significant meaning behind it, especially given the preceding conversation. I know that I would not send something like that to anyone unless I was head-over-heels for them.
Now I am sure much of the advice that will be offered will be along the lines of “wait and see” or “only time will tell”. Both of which I understand and agree with. I’m just looking for any comments on the poem above. Any thoughts?
I’d also welcome any suggestions on a suitable short poem that I can return in the near future, as developments warrant. Something that conveys the idea that this is somebody I could fall for down the road, and will put him on notice that he shouldn’t tug at my heartstrings unless he really wants me to fall for him. In short: “Watch out, or I will fall for you!”
Thanks.
