So.....
We didn't break up.
We talked it out.
He said he was sorry and didn't mean it.
He said that he loved me.
(which is the first time I've heard it from him).
Not exactly the circumstances under which I was hoping to hear it.
But, o-well.
The pain of his original statement still lives in my mind.
But, part of me thinks it was some sort of test.
Deep down I know that he would be hurt if I was with someone else,
just as I would be if he was unfaithful.
Relationships are hard work.
That's the moral of this story.
I used to think that it was all in the hands of fate
to deliver your perfect mate to you.
Now I realize it's up to you
to invest your time, energy, and love
into someone.
And, to not give up on things too soon,
I suppose.
