A Story with a Twist

It sort of goes like this...
It's an old story maybe with a new twist. You became my friend on Facebook and we started a stunning dialogue. You told me about your life, your hopes and dreams and the interest to meet me though we are divided by an ocean. Yes, by a sea. You were the most popular girl in school and maybe I'm falling in love with the memory of your charisma. I remember being at a weekend party when we were 13 - and you went off with a popular boy to make out in the laundry room. I was acting like you do at a party. You put a face on and then live with it for three or four hours, no matter how constrained you feel. I was so jealous of the boy and how I wished it were me. But I didn't even have the guts to talk with you in school. In fact I never did. Now it feels like we're soulmates on Facebook. Is this my imagination, or maybe my neurotic self feels so inadequate even to think that you could have feelings for me. In years gone by, You would be immortalized by a brilliant author , now residing in NYC, who was a onetime suitor and you can feel his passion in describing that young period in his life in his memoirs. Once again I'm jealous. My need to shed immaturity has once again come to the point of the Ace of Swords, to cut through my illusions. Maybe I'm projecting my desire. I don't have the guts to share my feelings. You shared much in your last letter, and once again mentioned that you would like to come to Sweden and meet me. I'm so Woody Allesque insecure that I won't measure up to your expectations. In school I was the fat kid, who hid behind being funny. I lost all the weight just after HS and surfed my life for decades, connecting with a variety of women - trying to heal my teenage years. Now I'm feeling overweight and out of shape with no energy to start improving my situation. My writing is a solace, a place I can go where my life and fantasies merge to bring a sense of living. Will I ever meet you or are you just a dream that I am afraid to wake up to? I feel good that after all these years I have learned about your life - your wonderful daughter, projects, engagement of guarding the environment, and your heart for people. Even if I never meet you in person, I enjoy that we are able to connect further down the road. You are definitely the coolest person from our high school class.
I know it's a cliche - but your beauty is intoxicating.
I said this story would have a twist.
I guess the twist is that it is true.
