Carlo (1)

I remember that one day that Romero introduced me to Carlo. Carlo was new to the country and barely could speak English. He and I if my memory was correct developed an instant bond. As the old saying goes, food wins the heart of a man.

I didn't know it at the time but a seed began to germinate in Carlo's heart. While I struggled in the previous relationship with Romero, Carlo began to develop strong feelings for me. I would occasionally see him once a week and then head home. I started to see Carlo's coworker and then dumped him before I became emotionally attached. One day Carlo's mother approached me and told me a secret.

Once I knew Carlo's secret I blushed a bright pink and tried to in vain hide from him. My heart was in conflict because I recently dumped Romero and Carlo's coworker Zach. But I soon discovered that I couldn't hide from Carlo forever.

I still am haunted by my past memories of Romero but as time goes by, I realized that I can overcome that fear whether it was physical or psychological. Yes I would admit I had nightmares but with each day it starts to fade little bit more like melted snowflakes. What I felt for Romero wouldn't be anymore, for I was brave enough to use assertive language to cut the ties with the old pain.
