You know the entry beneath this one?
I was wrong. There was a fork in the road. And it happened. And I was happy.
Emphasis on was.
Maybe I was being hypocritical .. maybe it was just the "chase". God, I hope not. "Don't leave me for another guy," he said. "I won't," I promised. I knew at the time making a promise like that was pretty damn stupid, but I promised anyways. I thought we'd stay together for a while, that I because I kept liking him meant I'd only want him, always.
I do want him. I do love him, I swear.
It's just .. every time I'm around him, there's this chemistry that I can explain. And the "him" this time isn't the him that you're thinking of. It's not the "him" I've wanted since eighth grade .. it's an entirely different him, and I don't know why it's happening now, when I thought it was over.
Scratch that. It never was. Something else just continued in spite of it.
And maybe this is just curiosity or desire. If I don't act on it, it won't happen. Simple enough.
Too bad the other "him" won't get out of my head now ..
"He," as in the other guy, kept touching me today, while "he," as in my boyfriend, worried about me. "He," as in the other guy, kept flirting with me today, and I flirted back, while "he," as in my boyfriend, tried to console me, tried to talk to me, and I resisted because I was feeling so out of it (for unrelated reasons).
Last night I realised things between "us," as in me and my boyfriend, will never change. Sure, he may be super mushy and caring now, but after a while the novelty will wear off. It'll go back to me being taken for granted, his sweet nothings being just that, nothings. And I'll lose him again, and it'll hurt more than ever, because I'll know that this time, I had him and I let him go. I can't face that again.
Maybe that's why I don't want to get so attached. I don't want to lose him again. For the third time. And sure, they say, "Third time's the charm," and I honestly thought so in the beginning.
But maybe it's not. Maybe it's just all in my head.
Oh, fuck. I don't know what to do. I don't even know what I'm complaining about. I just .. I needed to rant, to get this out of my system.
Whatever "this" is. |
