The Man That I Knew Somewhere

Somehow K reminds me so much of JR.... Witty without going overboard, intelligent, hard-working, incredibly practical and down to earth yet unphased and unscathed by most anything. Single-minded. Focused. Driven. Direct and straightforward. I couldn't appreciate JR when I knew him; I was too busy running after phantoms in the wind. I can't truly appreciate K now because I have my guard up against him. I know what he's after but something in me tells me to put the brakes on. Something strong. It's interesting how in life we meet folks we like but who scare us a little, and for no seemingly rational reason. K and I could be friends except for my self-imposed barrier. Maybe with time I'll raze the walls and settle into a nice friendship with him. It would be pleasant and fun to say the least.
