Well, it'll be a year on Wednesday since we broke up.. and there are times when I just lay in bed and think of him... of the fun we had. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't see or hear or do something that reminds me of him...
It took me 6 of those 12 months to get over him.. It took lots of tears... lots of lost weight.. lots of time with friends.. and lots of alcohol to move on.. but I still miss him at times. I hear our song, and even though I no longer cry uncontrollably, I do feel a little down. He taught me how to love again after Bill... he showed me what a Man was supposed to truly be like and how I was supposed to be treated.
He made a lot of sacrifices for me.. and with my limited means, I tried to do the best I could by him. My Valentines Day gift sits on my bookshelf. It was the most special, heartfelt gift anyone has ever given me. I will never get rid of it. Ever.
I still carry a Kat's game ticket in my billfold.. and a fortune cookie fortune that I got while I was with him.
I miss him... but I talk to him now.. every once in a while... and it's so great to hear his voice. It's very soothing to me.
He's moved on... he's happy now.. living so very far away. He has a girlfriend now.. and i'm truly happy for him.. but.. I still miss him a lot sometimes.
Like right now...
I'm listening to Michelle Branch..
"Everything is alright if I just... Breathe."
I remember the night I spent with him at his apartment.. and he put a playlist on... and i drifted off to sleep, but i remember hearing him sing to me..
*sigh*
This too shall pass.
We had something very special... and I want the best for him. He deserves it.
Maybe I'll see him again someday.. but for now..
I just hope your life is all you ever imagined.
