Forbidden Fruit

Today was HER birthday. As a friend, I got a couple of small, insignificant gifts for HER. A sign of friendship, nothing more. Though, I want to revel in HER beauty every day. I want to share with HER. I want to be with HER all the time.

We were talking and SHE showed me HER horoscope for this week. It really hit on what SHE has been trying to decide with HER life lately. Then, SHE said, "Let's look at your horoscope". SHE actually remembered my birthday. That was a shock, but a rather nice one. SHE began reading my horoscope aloud and all I could do was stand there dumbfounded. I didn't know what to say.

Here is my horoscope for this week:

A delicious forbidden fruit will be more available than usual in the coming weeks. You can choose to ignore it, of course. You can pretend it's not even there and instead concentrate on the less forbidden fruits that are tasty enough. Or, on the other hand, you can sidle up closer to the forbidden fruit and engage in some discreet explorations, testing subtly to see whether it's any healthier for your sanity than it used to be. I'm not sure what the best decision is, but I do suggest this: Don't just rip off all your defenses, forget all your commitments, and start heedlessly taking big bites out of the forbidden fruit.

I have never been a big believer in astrology or any other outside forces controlling my life. But I felt this was pure serendipity what with all the conflicting feelings I have been having lately. Nor does this mean I am going to start believing every horoscope written about me, but I do wonder if there is more to this than I understand. I'm not quite sure how to articulate the way I feel about this. But, it's not like I could tell HER that SHE is very well my forbidden fruit. And I do want to taste it, though I know at this point in time I cannot. I also know I cannot ignore HER like SHE is not there.

So life continues to go on this crazy path and I will continually be tempted by this forbidden fruit, at least for a while longer.
