How many of you like genesis? I don't mean genesis of the 80s and 90s, I am talking about the original guys. I love them. I haven't listened to their stuff for years. I went out recently and bought a bunch of cds. I have such bitter sweet memories with people i knew back in the seventies. It's funny how certain music can take you back to a certain era. I first met the love of my life when i was 14. Then at 16 i ran into him again. Up to this point i knew him from a distance. At 19 i met him in a pub one night we got talking. It was january 1979. We walked out that night it had been snowing.The town we lived in was surrounded by the countyside. It was a beautiful cold crisp night we walked and walked and talked and laughed. He took me home to his home i slept in his room he slept in his brothers room. The next day i met his family. That night is when i fell in love with him. I was very shy and looking back i think he was also. I waited and waited for him to make a definite move He never did I also never ever let him know my true feelings nor did i tell any of our friends.We ran with a large biking crowd. We were going to europe together, i ended going by myself. I came back lost track of him for a while. Looking back i think it felt safer to just be his friend. I was dying inside. One night at a party i opened up a door looking for a bathroom. There he was crashed out with a girl in his arms. As i opened up the door he opened up his eyes, we just looked at one another.My world caved in. I went out with the first guy that asked that turned out to be a disaster. 10 months later i came to the United States. It took that girl eight years to get him to marry her. And he messsed her about big time.
My advice to all the young folks out there if you love someone let them know. My mistake was to play it really cool. I lost him but have never forgotton him. In retrospect i think it took him along time to get over me too. Pauline got pregnant so he married her. I have seen him on and off over the years. whenever i fly home i always look them up. I still don't think to this day he knew how i felt about him.
I am going home next August and feel tempted to tell him in a light way HE BROKE my HEART. But then i think i should let sleeping dogs lie. I got on to this subject because the music reminds me of him. We used to listen to this band all the time. There is alot more to this tragedy It's too long to tell. To all you men out there what do you think to tell or not to tell. Would it make you happy knowing that she really did love you or would you rather not know. Would it spoil the friendship.
20 year old would have died before admitting she had fallen for him. I'll be looking him up when i fly home next year. I've often thought what if what if what if....... well we all know how that goes. Listening to that music brought him right back. we should have had smiley central 26 years ago i could have sent him one of these
LOL
