258 days, March

258 days,

 

March

Man, march was two steps forward and one step back for us.

Several things happened in March

Heidi still wouldn't shut up

I think I admitted to you I was having flashbacks of her when I was with you,

I'm sure that didn't feel too great for you. You couldn't blame yourself (did you? I'm so sorry)

There were times when I kissed you I had to stop and look into your eyes

You're beautiful, were then, were now, when I looked, it cured my flashbacks

So that's where the whole thing happened where you were like

"What?" and I told you you were "just beautiful" ...you were just beautiful. So wonderful.

Things going well!

But... ... ...

Second week of March, I come over one evening, stayed till dark

We're allowed up in your room, hooray! You kept the door open so we wouldn't get in trouble

That night,

You had on Chicago the Musical, playing on the TV in your room

In hindsight, the plot is quite clever and I'll probably watch it someday soon as I'm crying over you

...anyway

Yes, I'm cursed with a memory that good...

I didn't like musicals. I put up this silly front and told you I thought they were too fake.

I was a little mean. I just told you that if you liked musicals though that was okay...

Except it turns out in the future I didn't let it be okay

Anyway, Joanna came upstairs, we just picked another movie...

I'm pretty sure I said "I really would rather not watch a musical, something else would be fine"

Ended up...

Playing Halo with Andrew in between making out

Until I left around 8:15

But I forgot my phone charger there

Came back to pick it up, but this information is insignificant

... ... ...

So third week it is, we go out to see the AYP / AYS Spring Side-By-Side Concert

Just so happened to play selections from Les Miserables

You sung really beautifully

And all my stupid self could do was look at you like I wanted to tape your mouth shut

Leaned away from you a little, you were on my left, I leaned on my right arm

I even remember which row and seats we were sitting in

I remember how you asked what was wrong

I told you "nothing" and I couldn't say more

 

Sweet girl, I have to stop this story right now because at that moment, I knew very well how stupid it was that I was doing that to you. I realized I got extremely defensive over the stupidest **** in the world, but I couldn't get over my stupid reaction. So I just quit talking. But I was quite bothered. But I couldn't help it. But it was so ******* mean.

 

Reminiscent of how I treated Heidi...how I did that to you. Heidi would hurt me and I didn't want to hurt her so I just gritted my teeth and told her it was nothing. Over time it got worse and I got angry over the dumbest **** before I finally gathered the courage to break up with her.

 

I knew that I loved you exactly as you were, but you got the leftovers from my ****** relations with her and I'm so ******* sorry I did that to you, that I coaxed you to change, that I ruined something that made you happy for you

 

If I could go back to March I would, I would beat the absolute **** out of my past self for what I did...
