Would if you Could
First off I am a 55 yr old male, married 29 yrs to a wonderful lady and as usuall with long relationships things have wound down. I love my wife but for the pass few years I have had thoughts of pass loves and the "what if" things running throught my mind, sometimes to the point that I lose sleep over them. This really hit home about 2 weeks ago when I met a 35 yr old woman while doing a show at a charity event, and for the last few weeks I cant get this woman outta my head.
It all started while I was running the light board for the sound company of a buddy of mine, Ive been in the business in one form or the other for the past 40 years from musican to running sound and lights to managing bands. I was running the lights for a local band I had worked with many times when a voice behind me said that I was doing a fantastic job. I turned to see a person about 51 dark black long hair and a yellow bandana. I thought it was a young guy about 21 or so because there were no bumps on the logo t-shirt it was wearing and being the band was in full swing the voice didnt really regester as female. I thanked them and said I had been doing it a long time and it was just second nature. They continued to stand there and when the band was done it took a break and I got up and headed to the back of the stage to turn on a set of the house lights. I flipped on the lights and truned bumping into this person and agian they commented on the lights and stuff. I said"thank alot dude" trying to be hip with a younger person. Thats when I got my first real look and the shock of my life when she said, "Im a woman not a dude" and smiled at me. I tried to stamer a appoligy and she just started to laugh. I told her I was going outside for a smoke and she asked if she could join me which I readily agreed to. They had a smoking room set up outside but it was loaded with alot of people so we found a bench with no one around and said and started to talk. It was like we were old friends and she began to open up and tell me about herself. Now hears the kicker to the whole set up. She looked alot like a old girlfriend of mine from about 35 years ago. It actually had me shaking alittle. She said she was 35 single and never married, had worked as a danced at a topless bar for 5 years out in AZ. but lost the feel for it and was sorry that she didnt have any tits. Very straight forward for a frist meeting. I told her that tits didnt make the woman it was the mind that matters and it wasnt just a line with me. She asked why I wore a brace on my legg and I explained about it and told her the whole story. I then asked if she minded if I took a couple hits off a joint I had as it help to releave the pain I had and she said no as long as she could join me. We did a couple of hits as the stuff I have access to is some of the better weed around. I dont smoke for pleasure so I dont do a whole joint at one setting just a couple hits to lessen the pain in my leg and foot (nerve Pain). After I put it out she said that next time would I mind sharing some of what she had and I agreed.
We went back in and I continued to run lights and she would stop by and just put her hand on my shoulder or lean down and say something in my ear, spending about 5 minutes each time. The band finished its second set and the crew started to break down the stage and get ready to set up the second band which her brother is the drummer for. I got a couple of drinks and she invited me to go out and sit in the van since it was still warm and she had the keys to it. We got in and she pulled out a small medal box and one hitter and asked if I needed a hit for pain. I told her I would try one or two not know what kind it was and it was pretty good and we just sat there and talked. I asked her why the headband and she said it was a gift from a friend who just got back from Jamanica and I told her I thought she would look better without it. She himmed and hawwed a little but said she would compremise so she took it off let her hair flow down her shoulders and then put it back on with the hair over it. I reached over and stroked the long flowing waves of coal black hair and told her it made her look more beautiful than before and now I could really tell what a fantastic looking woman she really was. She grabbed my hand and held it agianst her cheek then kissed it and said thank you and she hadnt heard that in a long time.
I couldnt believe how shaken up I was inside. Dam I was married and all of a sudden I was starting to have feeling for this woman. No and dont even think it was the booze or drugs I only had 2 drinks to this point.
Sadily her brother band wasnt all that great but I could keep my eyes off her the rest of the night and she kept stopping by when she wasnt on the dance floor with other girls. A couple of guys tried to get her to dance but she just pointed over to me and said no thank you. After the band finished they only did one set she stopped by and gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek and said they would be playing at a local bar in a couple of weeks and hoped to see me there. I didnt ask for a phone no. or that but now the hard part is deciding if I should go there or not.
Like I said I have thought about this woman everyday since I met her and even tho I try to get her outta my head I want to see her and be with her agian.

you think? : Follow your heart. If you loved your wife then you wouldn't be attracted to this lady you met. Sure, you barely know her but there is something there between the two of you as you both van feel it. Go see her again. Now don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting you fool around cause I'm not. That wouldn't be fair to you, your wife or this lady. Go see her again by Anonymous Commentor on Monday Dec 01st, 2008
