LUPS...

by coincidence
our relationship began
one hell of a ride

Going to school in a college town with an Ivy League university across the lake was an interesting experience. While we didn't have Greek Life, you had better believe that they did. This is the story of the Lambda that haunts my thoughts. It was always funny -- I would tell my friends never to trust a Lambda and talk all this shit, but then ultimately it was I that would be in the same situation. Funny how life works out like that, isn't it?

Our relationship was odd from the beginning because he was dating this other kid that I had known, Puerto Rican Surprise. I thought it was odd that we would cross tracks thru him because while I knew him, he wasn't really that big of a player in my life. Zayra'kotú was a different story. She was dating his little, The Nica. Puerto Rican Surprise knew all of these people and it made me wonder if I had ever spoken to Principio on my own. Come to find out, one night at school I did indeed talk to this kid, pero it was online, and it really wasn't that big of a deal then -- I was always busy and he was a Lambda.

Fast forward to one ill-fated evening in January of this year. I was browsing the ads on The Horrible Website and this Daddy Yankee-lookin nigga hit me up. His face looked familiar but I couldn't place it. It was genuine curiosity that led me to continue talking to him -- our interests on the website had conflicted, but it was too early for it to even matter, and if it came down to that later, things could always be worked out.

The more we talked the closer we became. Something was really special about Principio and he made me feel good inside. Eventually something had sparked between the two of us and a relationship ensued. It was wonderful and when I was with him it was great. I even told him about Puerto Rican Surprise & we were able to work thru it. The only problem was the distance. I would go and see him and he came to see me, so we worked around it.

As wonderful as it sounds, it didn't work out. I had broken my leg and things crumbled from there. I still think about him at times thru-out the day. Someone will do something that reminds me of him or I will see something that gets me thinking. It's kind of funny actually. I think of him and he thinks of me, but I don't want to rush into anything like that again. While the first time was great, I want to be able to devote more of myself in a relationship like that.

The last time I saw him was when I was in NYC for the Medina=Citi fiasco. We had gone out for drinks and ended up discussing things relating to the future. Overall that night was interesting -- from start to finish -- it was like old times. Afterwards he kinda flaked out on me and made it into some kind of drama. We were able to work it out tho after I told him what he was doing. He realised he was acting mad shady towards me and that he had been doing it for some time. I'm glad we were able to work things out because since then we've become better friends.

I'm going back to New York for Halloween, it would be nice to go for dinner to catch up...
