Of course you are right. Right about patience and time. Right about seeking other relationships.
As much as I find joy in work and friendships, I know I am seeking to fill the void occupied by the one person who knew me and whom I wanted to know most intimately; the person whom I trusted would always be there; the person I still love. For now, I choose to wait...perhaps W may feel the same way about me some day.
And if not, my supportive friends assure me that one such other person may yet appear in the future, despite my harelip, my clubfoot, and my passing resemblance to Quasimodo. I pray to God that person turns out to be W.
