Yeah. I hear ya. I can relate sort of. But sometimes, it's just strange how things turn out between people.
Back in '01 some girl who I liked alot had come back into my life after not speaking with her for about months. At the time she was going out with a friend of mine, and he had found out about me liking her, so needlees to say - he distanced himself and her in January and I didn't see her until September of that year, a month after she had broken up with him. Anyway we started to hang out again. We tried going out, but it became uncomfortable after a couple of months. We weren't used to this. We were used to just being best friends. During that time, I had introduced her to my new group of friends. She ended up cheating on me. Found out a couple of weeks later. With one of those friends who she had barely knew for a month. We weren't even sure if it was really even cheating, since we never admitted to ourselves an established relationship. We tried to be friends after that, but it just didn't work. The emotions were still there between us, but scrambled and unreadable. April '02 came around, and we left anything we still had behind in the dust. We both decided that maybe we needed to not have any sort of contact for a while. We were so much alike. She was practically the female version of me. It felt almost wrong not being with each other. We severed any ties that Monday morning. I guess I felt we needed to go our own ways and grow up a little. To evolve...
November '02, while still going out with that guy, she wrote me an e-mail to say hi and see how life was going. A good mutal friend's father had passed away the Monday before Thanksgiving. A year ago today. We bumped into each other at the wake. Reluctantly aligning ourselves to comfort our friend. In the parking lot afterwords, we passed by one another, and chatted for a while afterwords...
August 31st, 2003 - we went to bed that night different than we did the night before. We fell asleep as a married couple.
And still happy and going strong
(Sheesh! Sorry about the long post. Didn't notice that)
