Building backlinks to your heart
There once was a young man who loved a girl – loved her so much that he thought it would break his heart just to think of her. She, of course, didn’t even know he existed. Some people would say she was a pretty girl, but no one ever said she was beautiful. But the young man who loved her thought it all the time. Some people would say, “She is so smart – so good at what she does.” and feel smug that they knew her. But she always just considered herself to be practical and “good enough” at what she did. Of course, the young man who loved her thought she could do anything she set her mind to do. Some days he would sit and look at her picture, taken from the company website showing her at a company picnic she attended last summer. He would sigh, touch the screen, and tell her how wonderful she was; how she could be anything she wanted. Then he would go back to his work, happy that he had that little moment of feeling close to her.
They lived in the same city; in fact they worked across the street from each other in soaring cement towers of industry in the midst of a very ordinary mid-size city in a very ordinary state. Every morning he timed his arrival so her could see her get off the bus and walk the two blocks to her office. He would bicycle to the bus stop, and then wait for her to get off the bus. Then, once he was sure she was safely in her building, he would cross the street and go to work, satisfied that the world was a better place just because she was a part of it.
This love from afar continued for a year, with the young man faithfully escorting her to her office each morning, unknown to her. He would gaze at her picture and chat with her in his mind as he took his mid-morning break, certain that she was taking a break at the same time. He felt so connected to her in this way – he didn’t feel he needed to actually speak to her. His was a quiet life, editing science journals online and joining friends for the occasional game of cards on a Friday night. He wasn’t anti-social or without friends. There were even a few girls in his office who had considered asking him to drinks after work. But when they would go by his desk, he was gone. He would be downstairs at the stroke of 5:03 PM to escort his secret love on her way to the bus stop for home. She never seemed to have anyone with her, no friends to meet or appointment to rush off to. She always took the bus home at the same time every night.
The young woman who was the object of this strange silent love was no stranger to love herself. Several years ago she had fallen in love with an older man, someone she knew through friends who liked her but didn’t love her. She had waited for two years for him to see her as someone more than a friend. But when she finally worked up the courage to tell him, he gently told her that she was mistaken. That what she felt was kinship and affection, but that she was too young to know what true love was. So she put her heart away on the shelf, moved to a new city, and started a new life. She vowed she would not love again until she found someone truly worthy of the love she knew she had within her. She knew she was capable of true and passionate love – the kind very few every give. But she had that love shining within her, and she was certain that one day she would find someone that would take that love, hold it close to his heart, and cherish it and her.
