The deer is ready, headlights.

The deer does not know what to do with you, the Quietly Approaching Oftentimes Receding Headlights.

Sometimes you come at the deer with such speed and with such intensity that it blinds the deer's vision. Sometimes you sneak up on the deer, in a slow, quiet fashion that always results in the deer being caught off guard. Sometimes, oftentimes, you disappear as fast as you arrived. It seems that the headlights only come at the deer when it is convenient for the headlights to do so.

The deer wants you to know, Quietly Approaching Oftentimes Receding Headlights that it values preparation and planning. It does not appreciate surprises unlike most deers because past ones have only left the deer feeling cheated, weary and afraid. The deer hopes to avoid this by being prepared.

Although it is greatly interested in knowing everything there is to know about headlights, please understand that the deer needs a clear and unmistakable signal that it is safe to approach. That the headlights will not suddenly come at the deer, hit it and run. That the headlights will not suddenly drive away as soon as it sees the deer approach, or as soon as another deer, or headlights, catches its attention.

Please understand that the deer has been enamored by headlights before, and was struck--quite hardly at that. If you ask around, you will know that the deer needed a lot of time to heal from the wounds the hit and run of 2008 have caused. If you look closely, Quietly Approaching Oftentimes Receding Headlights, you will see that the deer has scars. Scars which serve as a constant reminder to the deer to be careful. The world is unsafe. Headlights are everywhere. They have the propensity to hurt unsuspecting deers not because they deliberately want to but because they don't know they're capable of hurting others. It is in their nature to be careless and oblivious.

Please understand that this is where the deer is coming from. The deer is ready and willing to try but please let the deer know, Quietly Approaching Oftentimes Receding Headlights, that you are ready and willing to take the leap of faith, as well.
