I know nothing is ever the same after that. And that one cannot be satisfied with less, knowing what it is to truly love. I still wonder. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps this is why I cried myself silly watching The Notebook twice this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for your hurted piggy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-1156224853916587132006-08-22T00:34:00.000-05:002006-08-22T00:34:00.000-05:00Amanda: I don't know about amazing.

I'm glad I wrote it down, because now I've probably forgotten half of what I wrote then.<BR/><BR/>Carmen: Writing it out always helps. And it all came out rather easily. I don't think I mentioned exactly, but I wrote it four or five years ago.<BR/><BR/>RedNeckGirl: Thank you for the very kind words. And I think you're last sentence is very perceptive.

Though I think I'm with Renee on this. <BR/><BR/>Just a little advice (from a good place, not a critical one) from the other single person in the blogosphere. ;) After my breakup with the man I thought for sure was "the One", my friend Irish got mad at me one day. (This was several months after) She told me that I needed to get over it. That was the theme of the month. The more you linger on it, the harder it's going to be when presented with new opportunities. What I needed was a little push. Ok, a big one, but still. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-1156128228075432892006-08-20T21:43:00.000-05:002006-08-20T21:43:00.000-05:00somewhere I have copies to two such letters, but n...somewhere I have copies to two such letters, but none of them ever approached 17,000 words, the most I got down was about a 1000!

Even though that relationship didn't turn out the way you had probably planned it's nice to have that one person in your life.

I'm afraid number one probably isn't going to happen. She and I have settled into a sometimes dysfunctional but very beautiful and rewarding friendship. And that's not a bad thing at all.<BR/><BR/>Blondie: Perhaps I should consider that. For now, I wanted to share this tiny bit.<BR/><BR/>Heather B: Why thank you, Miss Heather.
