Continuation

Right. My previous post about getting my heart back... I did say I would continue... so here is the continuation:

I joined Helium.com a place for writers and writers wanabes could share their work and compete in bi-weekly contest for prizes.

I was rather active when I first started at that website.

Anyhow, after 6 months in of writing continuously  I received a message in my Helium inbox telling me how he liked what I wrote and asking me some personal detail about me that only a friend would know. 

I answered, flattered and curious. The communication goes on and on for about a month, until finally he asked, 'Do you remember a young man of 23 in 1997 who met you in MIRC and started a relationship with you who goes by the name of 'Darrel Robin Thompson'.

And I was like... OMG! This must be a dream for it could not possibly be my reality.

To make a lengthy tale short, suffice is to say, Darrel walked back into my life and told me why he left me all those years ago.

I did not reply his message after that for 3 months. I was sure this was a con job  We have all had it before where a guy who seems too good to be true promises you the world and all you could ever want from it... when all he is doing is trying to warm you up enough that you would be so careless with your money.

During the months I was cold-shouldering me he did not stop messaging me at Helium. I have not given him my e-mail or any other details.

Hani,
I know it sounds too fantastical to be real, but this is the truth that I hid from you all those years ago for the very reason that you are proving me right now: Your reaction to my revelation.

If you would only give me your YM or SKYPE id I can solve this really easily - we could have a video chat and you would see that I am who I say I am and not some dude trying to pull a fast one on you.

I don't know how much you know about me, but I presume you know very little. I have linked you to a website that details my life up till today and you could read it and maybe you will see that I am the Real McCoy and not some wannabe who gets his jacks up by pretending to be someone he is not.

Give me, give US a chance.

A month after that, I relented and gave him all my details and I had my very first Skype chat with him on November 2012 one cold night when I could not sleep.
