Afraid for Love to Fade


I am plagued by emotions for a man who doesn't even know I exist.   What if we never meet? I know I said in my last post that I hope our paths never cross... but that was only because I can tell I have zero chance of ever affecting his life the way I imagined I would.  However, there is a part of me - a huge part of me - that still wishes and hopes that we do meet, that we do fall in love.  I may be the help he needs in his life.

Steve looks like a person who was put through the ringer - life had been gracious to him at the start, but quite unkind as the years progressed.  You can tell that he has been living with sorrow.  Recluse, they call him.  He's been living with memories, you see. Memories of his mother, and probably guilt. I'm not completely sure.  Whatever it is, it's a heavy load to carry, and for so many years.  I hope he knows that he can let go of this load and live.

I never thought I'd say this, but I may be getting over my addiction

Just learned that Steve's daughter is NOT by Sherrie, but from another woman who kept the info from him (and the kid) until she was 12-13 years old. Why? I have absolutely no clue. Was she a one-night stand? An ex-girlfriend? Who knows. However, a woman who kept the identity of a man from his offspring may be more than a little miffed by his absence. It was around 1985 that he discovered the beautiful phenomenon named Shamila. Making her conception around 1972 or 73.  She's MY AGE! She's around KELLY'S age, too. How bizaare is that?  When he found out about her, Sherrie broke up with him.  According to some news write ups that I've read - he can be quite the douche.  He knows he's good-looking.  He's not good to his girlfriends - and I feel - quite possibly - that he's a little bit gay. I think he had a thing for some of his bandmates in the past and probably the reason why it destroyed him when they let go. I don't know what to think at this poi...

Why did he stop singing?

Nobody really knows the reason why he decided to stop singing with Journey.  There were so many mentioned: his mother died, his girlfriend left, he had depression, he was angry, he was confused.  He even said in an interview that he questioned whether he still wanted that life.  Then, he went back, and then again, there were problems: his hip, the band did not even give him a chance.  After that, we heard nothing from either party.  I know they are trying to be respectful of each other, but it seems that, in the silence, they said more to each other than if they had an actual conversation. Steve felt abandoned by the band - which is why he said he never really felt like he was part of the band to begin with.  He MADE that band famous - let's be clear about that.  I know that all of them were great musicians in their own right, but Steve Perry is what made that band FAMOUS. On the other hand, the band felt that he was taking them all for granted. B...
