Almost...But Not Quite




I miss the times that we almost had. "Almost" being the operative word there. I guess for me right now, as I re-evaluate everything that has happened and the emotional sacrifices that I have made, there are times that even I can't conceal like wishing things had been different. Like when I think about what I could have had with that one guy who I chose to let go. Or the one who cheated and lied to me. Or the one who cheated and still told me about it. Well, there were quite a few - that I can count on one hand - who I could have almost had something with but due to various things like distance, time and not enough commitment and willingness to dedicate myself to that deep-all-encompassing love, it wasn't permissible.

Sometimes people have to learn to make the tough choices in life. And the most important thing one learns from those choices is that they don't break you. They only make you stronger to face the bigger challenges ahead. At least, that is what I think.

You Broke Me

You. You played your part. But, I also played mine too. I never realized that my time was running out, until you pulled the rug from under me. Until I realized that there was no going back. There was a time when I would call, and even if you didn't answer, I knew you would call back. Now, I deleted your number, erased most of the emails we shared, and despite how I hate you, I still have that stupid picture from our time in Vegas. I was stupid. You made me stupid. I believed you and yet, you broke up. You broke me and I never truly healed. I have tried to move on, and have had somewhat of a decent experience of getting over you. But when you creep into my life in ways that make you almost undetectable, I feel you. I see you. I see it there in plain sight. You went on with your life. Married. Wife. Kid and the dog. You gave her what you had once upon a time promised me. Life. You broke me. But one day, I will be alright.
