In respect to an ex of mine
Alright, so it's not a secret that I'm glad Joe is deployed and not coming back to Seattle, because honestly it's for the best for the both of us. However, I have to give him this much credit. If he and I were together right now, and he found out that I got hit tonight, he'd be by my side and trying to do all he could to take care of me right now. Honestly, I'm fine. A friends' ex that I'd been friends with while they were dating heard from a friend of his that I said 'fuck him' about him and proceeded to smack me in the face, and because I was drunk and it took me by surprise it wasn't until he was on the next block before I'd even realized that I'd been hit. I won't have a bruise or anything tomorrow. I just feel bad that I had to spend the rest of the night consoling poor Jeff, who couldn't stop crying. I've discovered tonight that I now love another one of my friends and... that's a good feeling. The being hit part wasn't but... pssh! I hardly noticed it, there won't be a mark and apparently the ex tried to apologize for it afterwards but couldn't find me.
Seriously though... Joe, I know that you and I didn't end on good terms or ever really want to speak to me again, and I know why you left without saying good-bye, but thank you for letting me know inside that you would've been the man that I could've curled up in a ball and cried to if I needed to be taken care of. It's good to know that I at least had someone in my life like that, even though we weren't right for each other. I was too stubborn and too strong for you to take care of, but thank you for letting me know that there are men with that sort of quality out there. Because I'll probably (and let's be honest, hopefully) never see you in person again, thank you for everything that you did for me. I won't forget it.
