June 15, 2005: A Day To Remember.

My first love Ginny said, “No!” The date remains resolute for these reasons:

1. It was her birthday.

2. I was crying as I walked aimlessly through the night’s busy streets.

It was Ginny’s birthday and I had waited for a year to ask her out.

She became my neighbour in December, 2003. She had it all; charm, looks, manners and beautiful innocence. We had many fleeting encounters while fetching water. Silence was our music, loud and deafening silence. I was silent because, like the lion in the savannah, I don’t get many chances at success. She was probably silent because she was super shy.

After months of observing the target like a hapless lion, the chance to move in came on her birthday. Kudos to Ibby for stirring up my creative juices! I went poetic on Ginny. I believe it was a diary of events about our meeting that I managed to conjure up. It was so exquisite Martin Scorsese would love to adapt it into a movie.... http://syncityng.com/2018/07/02/the-love-travails-of-brother-w-iam-wilzspec/
