Unrequited Love

Here's the Cole's Notes Version:

I fell in love with my roommates ex-girlfriend. I became good friends with her. Eventually told her i liked her, she said the same to me. I told my roommate, he said it was ok. Started dating her and had the single greatest date i've ever had (no date has ever touched it since). Roommate realizes he wants her back and convinces her to break up with me. They are a mess and end it in 2 days. He moves out 3 days later. She moves home for the summer and says goodbye to me in the worse way. This is all in a 3 week period.

I don't hear from her for 2 months until I get this MSN message:

(Name)...i know you're mad at me, and i'm truly sorry if I hurt you in any way...i know it's probably too late to say this, but i wanted you to know.

It gave me no closure, just made me mad.

Bon Voyage

A and i didn't date for very long but long enough where feelings start to get involved. Well, at least for me it was.

He went away for a few weeks with the promise of calling me as soon as he got back. But he got back and I never heard from him. When pride finally did let me call to him, he said he meant to call but he just "kept putting it off". Like one puts off doing dirty laundry.

Ouch.

I never heard from him again. Until December when I received these postcards that had obviously been bouncing around the letterboxes of my apartment building because the winner forgot to write which suite number I lived in. Of course, by December I had to admit that I knew it never would have worked but still, receiving the postcards with "missing you lots" and "I shall see you soon" was a bit like salt in the wound.
