End of an Era
I understand now why people would compare their sleep to that of an infant. Crying all day is exhausting. You cant help but sleep soundly.
If you read the last entry then you are aware that Boyfriend is now exBoyfriend. The event didnt come as much of a shock considering the last year has been little more than a feeble attempt at renewing a lost relationship. For all the pain that the past twelve months have encompassed, the break was relatively easy.
As we had planned earlier in the week, Boyfriend showed up at my house on Friday. He got out of school early (he was doing certification classes for his job) so by the time I got home he was taking a nap. I entertained myself with a video game until he got up. Once he finally arose we stood in the living room just hugging. I went to kiss him but he turned his head and gave me his cheek. Since he had just woken up I attributed this to morning breath. Wrong. The next twenty-four hours consisted of similar denials. He would hug me, he would cuddle with me, but he refused to kiss me. I was both hurt and confused by his actions. Friday and Saturday flip-flopped between affection and rejection. By Saturday evening Id had it. I demanded to know why he wouldnt kiss me. He was hesitant to answer, but, after making it clear that the conversation wasnt going to end without some straight talk, he opened up. I want to be your friend, but I dont want to be your boyfriend, he said with eyes pointed down. This hurt less than I thought it would. Although misty-eyed, I maintained composure. Suddenly I heard Mooskers, my temporary roommate, just outside the front door digging for her keys. I rushed to unlock the door for her and once it was opened all attempts at restraint were gone. I cried hysterically on her shoulder. She just stood there for a few minutes and let me get it out.
After regaining control I returned to the bedroom and resumed my conversation with Boyfriend. I read him my Cry for Help entry and let him know that his actions of late had been deeply hurtful. After talking for a few more minutes I got up to invite a few girlfriends over so that I wouldnt be sitting in an empty apartment once he left. When I saw that he had his provisions gathered I went to him and we embraced. We stood there just holding each other, neither wanting to let the other go. Holding him tightly, I reminded him that I love him. I know you love me, too, I said. Even if you cant say it. I felt his head nodding furiously as he buried his head in my shoulder and softly cried. After embracing tightly for a few moments more we pulled back and kissed. It was perfect. Beyond perfect it was movie perfect. I walked him out to the staircase where we hugged and kissed (and kissed and kissed) again. Finally, he turned to go

I’m glad it was amicable and that there is a chance for the two of you to possibly remain friends. *HUGS*

***gentle hugs*** the song says it perfectly… breaking up is hard to do. but it’s also true that surrender is hardest while you’re doing it and easiest after it is done. even though you two will remain friends (and i have a feeling that your friendship will remain a very strong one) it might be a good idea to let yourself “grieve” this a little while **more gentle hugs if you’d like**

RYN: Sorry to scare you in your time of desperation 😉 Huzzah!

RYN: EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW… We must form some sort of resistance movement. Otherwise, we’ll all end up like poor Tycho Brahe. So let it be known, so let it be written. Huzzah!

RYN: It’s not that Dan disagrees with me, it’s that he thinks that I should do something about it. And I refuse to sabotage my best friends life for something that is not my business.

ryn-I love that song, it’s so weird, but yet so very, very funny. Hope you’re having a good week!

RYN .. I can admit that I have thought about you in a rather wet dreamy way too. I have to admit that I don’t know what you look like. Though I have often wondered, it isn’t that important as you work fine in my mind. You always manage to leave me exhausted. *Winks* You tend to like doggie style and woman on top. The next time you are ‘very wet’ it’s cause I am licking you and making you squirm.
