The possibility of love

I met her yesterday. She looked beautiful. I couldn't get to sit with her though. And she had some other guy who was with her. I felt a bit not-so-nice about that, but it didn't matter much.

Evening went by as planned. After the end of the evening, just when she was leaving, I had the following conversation with her:

Me : "So how about that coffee? Tomorrow?"
Her: "Tomorrow my mom is coming over, then I got office, then I'll be leaving for my home in xxx city. I'll come back in 2-3 weeks"
Me : "Ok ... give me a call when you do"
Her: Something like "Sure" or "ok" or "I will".

I don't remember clearly what she said in the end. I wasn't 'listening'. We said a Goodbye, and that was that.

So my mind started to make all kinds of stories. First it wanted to totally kill the possibility of any relationship with her, to avoid this pain in the future (quote from Revolver: "He hides behind your pain Jake."). Then the mind made up a story that it 'meant' she didn't want to go out with me, or that she didn't like me and my act chipped in with 'you are stupid' thing. First the 'you are stupid' to think she felt anything about you in the first place, then 'you are stupid' to doubt her reasons. Then it began giving me hope with other stories ... the what if scenarios.

I felt like the possibility closed on me. But then I realized that all this drama was in my head. She said what she said and that was exactly what it meant. All other are stories. The future too will be what it will be. It will either work or it won't. No stories or meanings can cause any of these to happen.

Above all, the possibility of love is not closed.
