I'll never forget the first time I saw you.
You took my breath away. I'd heard about you- your beauty, personality. I actually did covet you from afar. But, we weren't ready to meet. Not yet. I felt poor, unworthy.
Later, when the time was right, you became mine. I can still feel your smooth curves the first time I touched you. We were a perfect fit, as if we were always meant to be together. I could never tell if I responded when you touched me, or vice-versa. As we traveled the road called Life, we took all the curves and bumps in unison, high speed, fearless, flying all the way.
I knew nothing was perfect and that we would have our rough times, our little "fender benders".
I remember the first one; a dark and stormy night. Portentious of what would come. It was over so quickly, our little clash. The damaged seemed so minor, bound to be forgotten. But, still waters run deep. Repairing that first damage carried with it so many costs.
Yet, we somehow moved on. And things were good again. Slowly, however, it's the little things that tear you apart. We managed to laugh about that first incident this summer. In telling our friends, it seemed so amusing. Going on vacation, spending time on the Cape. In the quiet dunes, only to encounter the problems of home.
I thought nothing of it; dismissed it as an adventure. Yet, this weekend, I was betrayed again. And I cannot find the heart to move beyond. Someone tried to take you from me. They didn't know that you were unmovable. They did come close, and the damage has been done. I don't know if I can look at you the same way. Somewhere along the line, you've changed. You are more demanding, more high maintenance. The price of the baubles and trinkets of your everyday existence have become exhorbitant.
Others are forcing me to choose. They are not important to me; I do not love them as I love you. Yet, they hold a strange power and I feel that I must bow to their will. 
Good-bye, my love, my Passat. Hello Hyundai. |

Thank you. I consider that posting my therapy. 
First, someone stole the grill from the front while we were on the Cape in July. (You get the irony, right? We live in the car theft capitol of the world & it happens elsewhere). The, some little &%#@* tried to steal her from my driveway this weekend & did $1000 in damage to the driver's door. I can't claim it with NJM, because after a couple of fender benders last year, they told me that I'll be dropped if I have any more claims this year. 
The best part, tho, was watching The Spouse's face when I read this post to her aloud; she had no idea where I was going until I got to the end! |
