The Pursuit

It’s been eight years since I last saw her.  A year and half since we last exchanged emails.  Every month an email or two, even a letter sent, never receiving a response.  Refusing to quit, efforts at communicating are tireless where only hope she will respond.  Faith, one of these days she will change her mind saying how well she is doing and how she will try once again.

After all this time, not a day has passed without a thought about her.  She’s in thoughts when I lay to sleep throughout my dreams and when I first wake.  Everywhere, her images carried through the worst of times and best of moments.  She’s not a fleeting thought.  The opposite.  Jojo has become seared within the mind leaving a deep image guiding this course.

Needing to find her again.  Everyday, simply want to hear her voice, see her eyes even receive a response telling me she hasn’t forgotten

.

On course

What is one supposed to do?  Found her smiling, eager to spend more time with you.  Everyday riding your motorcycle, nine months together swiftly passes by.  You do it wrong.  Time and responsibilities force you to leave.  She stopped smiling.  Was it because you approached her, or because you chose to leave?  You won’t know that answer.

Without saying it face to face, you would soon return.  At 16, she is too young, messages written in code encouraging her not to quit on you leaves you in limbo.  On with her life she goes, yet not once did thoughts of her leave your mind.  Still wanting to find her, you move on, plotting the course of a new life to intersect with hers.  Obstacles soon force you off course far greater than yourself beyond your control.  Sometimes six months at a time, you’re taken away farther from her.  No matter what is, failing to navigate close enough showing how serious you’ve become disrupts the efforts.  Months go by, years pass by no closer have you become.

Silence. For almost a year her silence is deafening. What motivates is loud and clear, the experiences of her, images play and replay reminding how good her presence is, leaving you to want more. Instantly, naming off a hundred details why you love her. Her eyes, her laughter, tears of joy and sorrow, intelligence, boundless energy, radiating attractiveness…
Memories are all you have…you drive on.

Yet to be married…she pushes you further.   No matter how many storms on the horizon, still on course.

Even if alone, I move forward.

What would you do?

Pursuit of a lifetime

I find myself day dreaming about the bike and Jojo. If I could have one moment with her and talk to Jojo, what I would say to her is…

“Not once have I quit on you. What felt like a lifetime…You are the one woman I cannot live without.”

“Jojo…I love you.”

Leaning forward-looking at her with her eyes still closed, placing my hands on either sides of her face. Looking more closely at her staring at her beauty the attraction fuels growing stronger as I approach her. With her lips partially closed, I feel her peaceful breath against my face as I lean into kiss her even embracing her.
