It was three years ago this week that we had our first date. That strange little bar that happened to be having a whiskey tasting while we were there. At that first date, I knew that you were someone special. That one in a billion type of girl. As time went on and we began to get close I was certain that you were it. When you came to celebrate my 30th, it just felt right. You were the one. Then the others came. She was a captain. He was a dude with big beard. We drifted apart. Nothing more than the occasional how are you text. The fleeting thoughts of what could have been began to filter in. Two years pass since I had seen your beautiful face. You are even more stunning than the last time I saw you. We spent the day together. It was just like old times. It was as if time had just frozen, waiting for us to be together to continue ticking. The hustle and bustle of life gets in the way and it’s five months before we see each other again. But just as before, it was as if time stood still. We spent the night together this time, just as we had many times before. This time was different though. The look in your eyes was different. You looked at me with a look that can only be described as absolutely pure love. It was in that moment that I knew that knew. You will always be my person. I even told you that. We part ways, speaking every week. This week was different. You were so happy. Cautiously optimistic. “I’ve found the man I’m going to marry!” you proudly proclaim. I could feel my heart rush. “This is it!” I thought. This is when she expresses her love for me and we ride off into the sunset together. I ask her to tell me about this man she’ll marry. She then begins to describe a man that she met indoor skydiving a few years back that she’s reconnected with . My heart sinks, it sinks all the way to my toes. I smile and tell her how happy I am for her and joke that she better invite me to the wedding. She laughs and says “You have to be there, You’re going to be the officiant!” I smile and laugh trying to hide the tears that are stinging my eyes. I wish you well and take my leave. I feel sad and disappointed, but I’m so happy for you! You deserve nothing but the best. I hope that he’s everything you’ve always wanted. I hope he treats you with love and respect. If he gets scared and decides to go, I’ll be here to wipe the tears from your eyes and hike the mountains with you. You’ll always be my person, but I’m so grateful that you’ve found your person even though he wasn’t me.

Idk what's come over me; I guess when this whole 'Lockdown' crap started, I've found random stuff to do. One of them is writing short stories, comics and fanfic...
