I Met Him

 

Three days later, I had fallen harder for you than I had for anyone else

 

 

Four days later, I had fallen in love

 

 

But I had also realized how incompatable we were

 

 

That the important things didn't match up and we would never agree

 

 

The six weeks that followed consisted of roundabout and sporadic conversations

 

 

Trying to make something that would never work, work

 

 

You started to slowly disappear

 

 

Leaving for days

 

 

And then weeks...

 

 

At a time

 

 

I tried to cling the five to ten minutes I got to talk to you every other week

 

 

In two monhts, I lost over fifteen pounds over the lack of food because of the stress

 

 

And one day, I gave you the warning...

 

 

I would be back in about a week

 

 

I had to take a break from it all

 

 

The stress had caused me to have an axiety attack when I'd never had one, nor felt like having one in the eighteen years of my life

 

 

And when I came back?

 

 

You were gone

 

 

Eight months ago today, I met the love of my life

 

 

And six months ago, he left

 

 

And six months later, I'm still crying
