Thank you and I know you are right. I promise to be true to my feelings. Sometimes I feel my relationship with her is larger than life AND my imagined relationship with her is better than the one that exists within the walls of her office. [and i have had that conversation with her - - - she thinks the part that diminishes our relationship serves to protects me from getting hurt --- or something like that].
Did you ever see the movie "500 Days of Summer"? I loved that movie. There is a scene (and it's not giving away the movie or its plot ... just one film technique used in the movie) ... displayed on a split screen. One side of the screen is how this man imagines what is going to happen when he sees this girl and the other side of the screen shows the audience what really happened - -- side by side. I loved that sequence because I have that side by side movie playing in my head all the time. My wish vs the reality ... the wishing part is always better.
