TheAmbassadorOfRomanceInVenus's blog: "Appreciating Romantic Friends"

Valentine's Day theatre balcony threshold to somewhere I don't know. Show's about to start: "Pandora's Box." Long to look in but I am a bit singer, plot does not involve me, yet still find pleasure to be here now ironic theme of today's play. I grin at Video Man who sees all, his painstaking vantage, tripod tall, proud, camera's eye filled with all the world. He smiles, an insatiable nova blistering through darkness so so sure of self love at first sight. Me, not yet. Conservative in hetero motion, cautious, wary acknowledge he's nice not my tall, dark father unattainable standard. Something intriguing about this Video Man he's nice. I trade cards, so jaded by waiting list of men who need me, keeps me from feeling flint-spark of this man I will marry. Valentine's Day theatre balcony Pandora's Box peeps open, light seeps out, love at first sight he sees immediately while I pretend to need more time, still our fate is sealed. Inside the box, pulses metronomic heartbeat box cannot contain, pops lid off my safe and lonesome life explodes. We clasp hands: I see myself deep in his eyes, my eyes, his eyes, my eyes, his: a naked view of universe, he and me in it.
