(no subject)
Soemtimes you go through life knowing what you want, sometimes you don't. Sometimes the things that you think you want aren't really the things you need, or vice versa. Sometimes you find someone in your life that is better off a friend than a lover, even if you've always wanted it to be the former.
Things change, seasons and people change. It's a part of life, one way or the other. Two people who've known each other for years, but never had the opportunity to be together were finally free to follow their hearts, only to find that the dream just wasn't the same as the reality. This was a slow, but mutual realization for us. We both needed something that the other was able to provide, but I think we both knew that it wasn't something that would last forever.
Still, I love her in my own fashion, just as she loves me. I still don't know what I'd do without her, but as I've somehow managed this far, I'll endeavor to continue on. I know that I'll still have her love and friendship, and if I ever need her that she'll be there, and the same goes for me. Our paths in life are just taking us down different roads, as they always have in the past.
Next week I'll be in New York, spending time with someone who has really kept me on my toes over the last few weeks. It's funny how things work out. We were supposed to be introduced earlier, but for whatever reason it didn't happen. We knew of each other, through mutual friends, but had never had the opportunity to talk until recently. I could say that there was this 'click' between us, but I really don't want to jinx anything that might possibly happen. Still, I enjoy my time with her, both in person and via the phone, IM, LJ. We'll see what happens.
Rather verbose entry for me, and one that isn't morbidly morose or bitter. Things do change, don't they?
