you never know what could have been .....................

[pig4banging]

My name is Mark. I live on a quiet Street in a family neighborhood. I broke up with my last partner about a month ago......

I want to talk about a man on my street. He moved in about a year ago.. Other than wave to him , and once said hello, I have never had much interaction. He is a good looking man. Nice eyes and a short haircut.

I always see him working on his yard and home. I never see anyone else at his home except for the occasional group for a party. He comes and goes and goes inside and does'nt emerge alot other than to cut the grass etc. I heard he had a nice back yard, fenced in, and a screen porch. Probably where he spends his time.

I assume he is gay but its hard to tell. he is not an overly gay man or doesnt hang in public alot around gay events. but lives alone.

................... now its 2 years later............ I have actually spoken to him a few times outside, and once i saw him at the local gay bar, He seems like a really nice guy, but kind of shy . Sometimes i am not sure if its being shy or not friendly. I keep saying I should invite him over or out for coffee, alas I never seem to. Everytime I see him outside he waves and smiles.

Another 5 years goes by.............. I am in the food store and run into him. I myself have gotten older looking, et he always stays the same, young looking and maybe even sexy I would say.

I approach him and we talk..... I look into his eyes and immediatly feel calm and safe.

He is a very nice guy. We talk for a few minutes and he seems very sweet and like someone ive known my whole life. then I dont see him again for awhile...

Another 3 years goes by and I see and obituary (small one in the bottom of the page) Scott Peters died yesterday of a failed heart. Scott had never been sick or had any heart problems.... Scott lived alone on Johnson street. His viewing will be at St, Marks on Aspen street thursday at 5pm.

wow I never thought he would die so soon. I never got to spend any time with him.

I plan to go to the viewing,,,,,,,

I get there thursday and there are only a few people in attendance. His sister and her family and I think an aunt. Other than that a few men from town.

I spoke to one of the men and he told me Scott would talk about me and say how nice I was but never knew if I was gay . For I also never really talked much to him....... This man told me he had a crush on me.

Damn I never knew.

As I go up to the casket, i look at him.... even in death he looks so sweet and still sexy and calming......

After I left the viewing I went to a bar and had a few drinks..... I was feeling like I lost something special. All this time he was on my street and available and I was too stupid to approach him.

He might have been my soul mate if I did.

This just goes to prove you never know, so dont let ships pass you by.

....................................................................

I woke up and realized i had a bad dream.

oh Scott was a real neighbor and all that was true, but he had only moved in about 5 years ago.

This dream was telling me something.

I got dressed and hung outside around the street. Then he came out to work in the yard....

I went up to him said hello, gave him a big hug and said lets go for coffee.

We went to the local starbucks and talked for a couple hours. WE immediatly hit it off.

Over the next week we spent more time together, I also found out he is hot in bed, and open to trying new things etc.

Well we have been seeing each other for a month now. We both agreed to make it an actual relationship and even spent time at each others house alot.

eventually i rented my house out and we lived in his well maintained house with a great yard and gardens and that screened in porch.

WE are very happy and yes he is my soule mate.

Thank you god for giving me that dream.

Moral of story: take a chance and give it a go... You never know what could be....

I am that scott person.... ( bikercnt4u@aol.com)

Nice story the first part i was going to say you idiot when you snooze you lose but the 2nd part made up for it, when a nice guy shows up make the most out of it because real nice guys are few & far between. That you consider him to be your soul mate makes it even better. I hope the story is true & wish you the best of luck.
