This One's Gonna Bruise (9)

I hope you stick around. You've been a big help to me, and I suspect to a lot of people here. Our paths have run kind of in parallel for these last few months, and our approaches similar. It is nice to bounce things back and forth with someone like that.

Like you, I am prepared to move on. I am confident that eventually I will find someone to share my life with, and now see the possibility of a new, better R in my future. But am I "over" W? I don't know that I ever will be. And like you, these last few days I have really felt the loss of her friendship, our togetherness, the love we used to share. I want to share with her the things going on in my life, even though those things involve dissolving the ties that used to connect us. I dreamed about her again last night, only to wake up and find emptiness. But that is a void that will be filled, eventually, by someone I don't even know exists yet.

So hang in there. It will get better for the both of us. But it will just take time, and help. There's plenty of help still for us to give and receive here.
