The 2 of Hearts

Being single in the world today is unusual to say the least. Lets begin with you cant met a good guy at a bar, so you go on line. This is the new way of love. You sign up on a few to spread the wealth around.  I wont name any but we all know the popular ones. But to this day the best place to met a guy is on Facebook. Got to love all that you can connect with through your friends list or better yet your FRIENDS friends list. So here we go! Ive been on Facebook for years, I have enough friends not to many or to little. A mix of family and friends from the present and the past. And of course the few people I follow for all kinds of reasons. I decided after a night of drinking (not my best decision) to reach out to one of these old friends of mine. Something had made me think of him, so we exchange a few texts and that leads to a call or two. It turns out we have a lot in common. 

Have you ever watched someone get in to something and the whole time you think this is going to end badly and we should say something but you dont. Have you ever looked in the mirror and said that to your self? Maybe I should start to listening  to that voice in my head. 

I feel in love with a Magician, this man makes his living convincing us we see what HE wants us to! So he sets the bait. Puts the force in motion and I pick the card! The Magic man played me. Puts out only what he wants me to see and hear. Shows me his "whole deck" but yet I dont see that the deck is stacked. I see what he wants me to because he is a Magic Man, and is the best at what he does. He calls before I lose hope, he text the right thing at the right time. And then the moment happens right before the final trick is done. The moment where I say to myself I will not believe this! He cant be that good. Ive seen better! And then and only then he performs the greatest trick of all LOVE. What is this? Its the word every girl wants to hear the man on the other side of the phone say LOVE. He now has pulled me in I hand him over every dark secret I have. I have only one final thing to hand over before I give him everything, before I give myself to him completely. And then I fall, I fall for it all! Now he has me and every trick he shows me from now forward I believe. And even though the tricks aren't as good as the trick of LOVE I cant tell.  I crave more small or big it does not matter I need more every day. 

Then this Magic Man decides its time for his best trick, the trick of disappearance. Since this is going to be his final trick he must time it just right. He has gotten all he can from his current audience. SO now its time for him to move on to the next show. He looks for the right moment when I am vulnerable my most loving moment. He pulls off the greatest trick ever. He disappears with such gusto and grandeur.  I only notice when he steps off stage that the trick was the best Ive seen, better than even something Ive seen in Vegas. I look up and he is gone. I sit holding my head in my hands. Shocked and amazed all at the same time, I look down at my table and there it is...the 2 of hearts the card is mine to remind me of him forever. And now till the next time I fall for love I will continue to play the game with out a full deck! Always keeping the card as a reminder to not fall for the tricks that the magic men of life show us. The trick of love.
