sometimes, you expect so much from someone that when this person doesn't live up to your expectations, they no longer satisfy you. even worse, this causes your greed to sky-rocket, while the other fails to notice. detrimental to any kind of relationship, isn't it?
it rarely happens to me. i'm the life-shits-on-me-so-i step-in-it-and-move-on type of person... most of the time. there are rare occasions where that theory is proven false and then, well. disappointment kicks in. it's so bad for me because i so seldom have this type of feeling, so when i feel it, its effects become two-fold. but this is exactly why i enjoy the other seldom times when people really DO exceed my expectations, not that i set much.
smply put, i was completely breathless on july 28, 2003. and this was all because this person put their time and unsurpassable effort into making me smile. for that, i am truly grateful and honored. something of that devotion, i have not seen anywhere or from anyone.
and to truly amaze me, it must wringe me dry of air.
