I miss love.

There's no other way to describe it.

I miss it. It enthralled me. It made me healthy. I try not to think of the person I loved. I don't want to dwell on the past. But it hurts. It hurts really badly. Like nothing I've ever experienced. I want to rewind everything to March of last year.

I want everything to be okay again.

I've been numb for 6+ years. And I did it to myself ... in retrospect, I don't blame him for leaving, I *was* crazy.

Funny how sometimes feeling pain is better than feeling nothing at all.

I hope things get better for you, soon.

But that love did not come from the person who broke up with you. It came from you all along.

Trust me. You did not want to marry her, have children, reach middle-age, and then find out about the guy she is fooling around with on the side. Better to be done with her now. Better to be alone for a while. You have got plenty of time. It's going to happen for you again, and maybe this time it will happen with a woman who will put as much love into the relationship as you are willing to give.

A friend once told me that I spoil people. She said I spoiled my ex.

I told her that I can't help but want to do nice things for the people that I love.

Then she told me that maybe, some day, I would end up with someone who would want to spoil me back. I hope she's right about that.

But you need to quit looking back. When I was your age, I successfully managed to get *my* GF back. Now look at me.
