Whoa, I just received your response immediately after I logged back in.

Anita, I stand corrected and I apologize. You being direct is what I needed being a New Yorker, we should be used to directness and sarcasm.

I guess it’s the “If you love someone, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don’t, they never were”.

Won’t lie to you but the feelings I have seem to be authentic, but I guess they can be reversed:

HOPE – DENIAL
LOVE – OBSESSION
