How swiftly we come and go

I don’t know where to talk, so here it is….

I’m positively heartbroken right now. It’s been so wonderful having my best friend back. The one and only person who really GETS me. Someone who actually WANTS to listen to me talk and CARES what I’m actually saying. The adult I enjoy spending time with more than any other on earth. My heart has been so full….and now they’re gone again.

I get it. I do. I respect that they need more time. I respect that they’re trying to do what is best. I really hate the void left without them though. I really hope one day they’ll return. Already, I keep checking my phone hoping they’ve changed their mind. I know it’s going to be a while though…..

The timing of all of this is so crazy. I’d felt like I was about to go through a transition. And you know, usually, you don’t see the transition coming. You don’t see it at all until it’s done. You may see the bricks that hit you, but you don’t realize the full effects until the bruises show and you find yourself healing from whatever emotional repercussions follow. Some transitions are bad, some are good, but they’re always filled with lessons and self growth.

So many coincidences came all at once for this one. It’s weird that I saw it coming before it even came. Honestly, I think I have such a connection with this person…I think I felt them coming, I just didn’t know it. After all these years…I suddenly had this day where I just felt this change coming. I felt the transition coming….two days later, there she was.

I’d like to say more, but I’m out of time….maybe next time…..but for now, she’s gone. All I have left is this piece I’d my heart that will always be hers.

I can relate to that.
I know a lady that I have loved for years. I upset her and she refused to listen or talk to me. I have sent birthday and Christmas cards for years. I send emails with no reply. One day she replied, I was so happy. She knows I love her, but she cannot love me as she once did. We talk on occasion, but she will never be mine again.
I can live with it, as long as she is still alive. Cannot bear the thought of her not being in the world.
@CommandLine it sounds like you love someone who is emotionally unavailable anyway. I had one like that. These people are not worth pining over. Not one thought. I thought I would grieve to death and then I realized, it wasn't about me at all. This person always was emotionally unavailable even though he lied to me and told me I meant more to him than anything in the world. I don't pine over what I didn't have. It sounds like you are pining over someone you only thought you had. I found that to be a real waste of time at that time, when there were others out there who are genuine, honest, and would have reciprocated my love. What a waste of life on someone who doesn't even care.

@LadyGrace I have learnt to live with it and get over myself and move on. I have loved since and will again.
Will always be a place in my heart that belongs to her, but the rest will be ready to love again.
@CommandLine I could never love someone that treated me that and that didn't love me. That was not love and that was not a relationship. Love doesn't do that to people.

@LadyGrace Sorry they treated you so badly. I was the one at fault originally, so it's on my shoulders.
I have lived to regret it, unfortunately.
@LadyGrace Love is not always reciprocated. Who are we to tel anyone who to love? The heart does what the heart wants. It is idea to make peace and move on, but some love never dies…even once you move on.
@CommandLine I absolutely understand where you’re coming from. It was I who did wrong in the end as well. It was never intentional, and it never meant I didn’t love her….I just couldn’t have kids with her and I knew I had to try to move on. I have, but a price of my heart will always be hers. It’s ok for a piece of your heart to belong to someone else, even if they don’t reciprocate that love. So long as you’re able to move on and do what is best for you, that’s the important thing. There’s no shame in loyalty at all.

@cherryxblossom I have moved on somewhat.
There is someone that I like, but haven't seen them for a little while.
