Choosing a path means having to miss out on other things. I have my whole life a head of me and am mostly wondering if in the future I will come to regret the choices I have make now. I was not afraid of committing myself before, now I think I have this strange phobia to anything that could mean serious. I want to follow all possible paths and I worry that I might end up following none. After all the romantic disappointments, can I give of myself entirely? I fear pain, loss and rejection. These things will be inevitable on the path of love, and the only way of avoiding them is by deciding NEVER to take that path at all. In order not to suffer, I have to denounce love. Its like pulling out my own eyes not to see the bad things in life..
I polished my makeup one last time and headed back to the restaurant. I hoped the mask I was wearing to cover the hurt would stay intact and I didn't have to excuse myself again. I walked towards Jude, I never really noticed how good looking he was, and as his stood up to meet me, I noticed how kind his eyes were. He pulled a chair for  me and then went to sit across the small table from me. I could really be happy with him. I could learn to love him. I mean, people do that all the time don't they? He called to the waiter and asked for the wine list. As the waiter turn, his soft brown eyes turned to look at me. " I love you Lexi...."     "Ohhh noo......" My heart couldn't keep an opinion to itself for five minutes. " I told you he was going to do this...all you had to do was listen to me....you always going with what the head says...this is going to be a disaster" I didn't take my eyes off of him. I didn't want him to know that I was no...
