I'd like to think I write very well, but i imagine that isn't the case. ah well. I put these thoughts to words earlier this evening:
Youll never know I wrote this.
Im watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The first time i saw it was when i was in college. i was all of 20. i was with friends and you were at home, 55 miles away. when we left the theatre my friend looked over at me, saw the look on my face, and just said, i know. i was thinking of you the whole time.
its been many years, and the only reason i know youre happily married is because your sister, for whatever reason, still hasnt unfriended me on facebook. im long over our relationship, but every once in a while i catch myself thinking of you. i havent met anyone since you, my first great love. im happy youre doing well. i still regret that i never told you how much you meant to me before i left michigan.
as with probably everyone and every former lover each of us has had, i hope that you occasionally think kindly of me, because i know i do of you. ill never forget that trip to cedar point just before halloween, or when our friends made me drive out to see you when your sister ran away, made me move to the couch so i could hold you as we watched that scary movie. how you held me in the backseat of susans car during that trip from frankenmuth when i was homesick at christmas, or a hundred other times we had.
we were never meant to be, but we both needed each other just then. i regret the mistakes i made with you, but im a better man because of the time we spent together.
ill never forget you.
