Keys

For my birthday I decided to go to Key's On Main. It's a local piano bar and the atmosphere is always fun. I invited a bunch of friends and was ready to go have an amazing time.

I was very excited because SHE was going to be my date. She came over to my house that night. We had been texting and sending snapchat pics nonstop for weeks now. I knew it was still early on, but I knew I wanted to ask her something big. I started off by telling her that she's the only girl I am talking to and for as long as we are hanging out, she's the only one I want to talk to. She told me that I was the only guy she was seeing and she wanted to keep it that way too. So then I did it. I asked her, "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" She replied, "Yes!" It was such a sweet and wonderful moment. I was so happy. I couldn't wait to go to Key's On Main with MY girl.

We went to Key's and it was so much fun. Many friends came, sang songs with me, and bought me countless drinks. I'm not a big drinker, but that night I sure was. I even twerked on stage. But I was so overjoyed that I was there with so many friends and with HER! Adam had to drive us home and I complained about him having to adjust my seat. I'm special like that.

When we got back to my house we drank some more, then my new girlfriend and I decided to go lay down in my room. We talked for a bit and then suddenly found ourselves in our first "fight." I paid her some compliment about how pretty she was and she blew me off. I asked her why and she replied, "you're just saying that, you're like all the other guys." Whoa. Now mind you, we both had been drinking, but my feelings were hurt. She knew it too, she apologized but I was pouting and told her to give me a minute. She got up, grabbed her stuff and left.

I laid in bed asking myself, "what just happened?" Then I jumped up and put on my shoes so I could track her down and talk to her. When I got outside she was sitting on my porch in tears. I put my arms around her. She apologized again and told me she wasn't used to being treated well and given a lot of compliments and that she really didn't mean that I was like everyone else. I hugged her tightly and told her, "I mean what I say, all I want to do in this life is to make you happy and to make you fall in love with me." She looked at me and replied, "You already have."

Blue Kitchen

We often would talk about what life would be like when we lived together. We'd talk about where the kids would sleep and if we'd keep my roommate in the house (yes, Adam you were staying). But one thing that always was brought up was the kitchen. It was the room in my house that needed the most attention. She liked the idea of making the color and theme blue. We'd send texts with different ideas of décor and paint. I couldn't wait to get started. A week before she left she brought over a blue spatula. She said it was the first piece to our kitchen. I was overjoyed. But then it my world ended. Without warning. She kissed me goodbye before she went to get her car fixed and told me she'd be over that night. She never came over. I got a phone call and it was done. I could write endlessly on my feelings about the breakup. About what I was told. About what actually happened. Where and what she's up to now. But that's not the point of this. That's not the s...

4th of July

Image
I planned what I thought would be an amazing first date. It was the 4th of July and she had put off a family function to spend the evening with me. I ordered a cheese platter from a deli. I searched multiple liquor stores for her favorite bottle of wine. I went to multiple stores looking for a picnic basket for all the goodies. Tonight was going to be something special. We met up at my place and we visited for a moment. Then she got in my car. I was so nervous. We made small talk as I drove her to our destination. The days leading up to it I had told a few of her friends my idea. Some liked it, others gave confusing advice that led me to second guess myself. But we would text a lot, and she told me she knew whatever I originally had planned would be great. So I followed my gut. I drove us up the mountains, somewhere we could sit and watch all the fireworks go off across the beautiful valley. I laid out a blanket for us to sit on, a blanket that would be ruined by doing so. It wou...

Moving On

I started this blog only a few weeks ago. I needed a way to look back at the good moments that I shared with her. I was in such a funk, even though she was gone, those moments were the only thing keeping me afloat. But I'm done. No more sharing stories. No more reminiscing. No more holding out for hope or a change of heart. When she left she told me she "knew she was making the biggest mistake of her life", but she had to. She's just following her heart. As did I. She had some unfinished business with someone else, and no matter how much love we shared, that is where her heart was. I wouldn't want someone who wasn't fully invested in me anyhow, I deserve better. She deserves whatever she feels is right for her. I haven't stopped caring. She crosses my mind multiple times, everyday. I still carry around sadness in my heart. What we had, albeit fast, intense, and brief, it mattered to me and I know, for at least a moment, it did for her too. I ho...
