Tonight at work something happened which was extraordinary. A person who I have known for four years and has worked there for seven, came up and sat down beside me as I was wrapping up.
She said to me, "of all the people I have known here or worked with here you are my favorite and I am going to miss you". I was stunned, dumbfounded! As I tried to compose a thought in response, I looked into her eyes which were filled with tears. She has known hundreds of people and I am her favorite? Did I mention her eyes were filled with tears?
This was not a romantic gesture but a platonic one of the highest caliber. To say my response was awkward is an understatement. "I don't know what to say , uh, that is very kind of you and thank you. And I will certainly miss you too." Then we had a short conversation. She will be moving away to work at a new office opening in another city. She made me feel loved tonight in a pure friendship sort of way, what is commonly called platonic.
THEN, I repeat, THEN(lol) I came home and received more love. Came online and a dear friend told me she had just read my blog. She asked if she had told me today she loved me? She then told me that. Wow!
It's a good thing that this was platonic experience #2 for the night! Reason #1 being because I could use all the love I can get at the moment. Reason #2 being because if it was not platonic but romantic I would have rejected said proclamation! LOL! Love on the net? May it never be so! Except of course in a platonic way. Of course.
I just love platonic relationships. They are ever so real. Ever so real. Someday perhaps a non-platonic relationship I will enter into which is real. Perhaps.
