Ghosts are the memories of past regrets. Alas, fair lass...

Last night / this morning (in the wee hours); I blew it.  When you combine scotch with an extremely intelligent, troubled, attractive person of the female persuasion, the lizard brain can rule.

I don't know (cannot imagine) what was going on during the process in her mind; but she was playing youtube videos of music that (I theorize) the lyrics were the medium of the message.

In other words, kiddies.... she was talking thru youtube videos.

And I didn't get the entire message, but allowed for more scotch, and somehow I let the lizard out.
Not much, and still...

She warned me, under certain circumstances she would be *gone*.  No goodby, no apologies, and no way to regroup.  Period.  And, I would NEVER ever hear from her again, or know about her doings.

She read a series of text messages from one desperate, angry individual.  First apologetic, then begging, then angry...  Something I knew happens when the door is open and the breeze blows in.

She has told me some things, and tried --- in her own way and style --- to let me in a little, I think.

But that's now gone.

Mea maxima culpa.  Not so much for what I did, as what I did not;  I didn't after all, provide the completely safe harbor that she needed and was asking for.  I tried... however it isn't a do-over.

<you don't need her name>, my apologies.  You'll never know.

But, I won't be that guy with the angry...

this is going to hurt a bit.  but the guilt...

again.
