There was no way I couldn’t fall in love with this woman, She was brilliant. A writer

There was no way I couldn’t fall in love with this woman, She was brilliant. 

A writer, a published poet with a “This I Believe” essay featured on NPR. She was hysterically funny with the quickest mind I ever encountered. 

She constantly challenged me to the point where I was always jockeying for an offensive position, which is great when it comes to passion, but not so much when it comes to day to day survival in a real world . 

She had a mean streak that ran deep and I just wasn’t secure enough.

Letting her go hurts to this day. God I loved that girl.
