O que escapou

How do people do that?

How can one person, one soul, hold so much sway on other person??

Saw a picture today on a social networking site of an ex---the first person ever to Top me (although I didnt understand it then), the first to show me that pain doesnt always have to hurt, the first to challenge everything I thought I knew, to yank me on a wild forbidden rollercoaster and hold me at the top when I wanted to jump off.

The one that picked up the pieces when I did, put me back together, and told me it was ok.

Its been eight long years since I watched that plane fly away to Ecuador--the one I should have been on.
