I guess Scott resembled Mr. Decking. He had characteristics of success. He was motivated, determined, and strong. I can visualize how vulnerable he could be. Scott had a hard time breaking down his walls and opening up to me. I feel like he had secrets that were crucial to my understanding of him. He was always hiding behind a curtain, as I was waiting for the show to start.
We talked for hours about nothing. We could have sat in complete silence and enjoyed each others company. I never thought I'd fall for a guy I met at a bar. Especially Scott. He had the bad boy look and he didn't make eye contact with people. I never noticed how he had a hard time looking me in my eyes. I could stare into his for every second of the day if I had to. The bad thing about our relationship is that it wasn't constant. We would not see each other for weeks and it killed me. I longed for his touch but apparently the longing was not mutual.
   That quickly changed. I've gotten extremely bored with the idea of Scott. He only comes around when he needs me. It has been a struggle trying to make things work when we both knew it wasn't going to. You can only put so much of yourself into another. He never put anything into me. It was a one way street.
