"Talk to me..." she murmured softly through her tears for the third time.
He breathed deep, trying to control himself. Struggling to not break down he looked at her through his gossamer veil of unshed tears.
"I...I'm so..." he lost control, choking on his own sorrow, like a dam breaking, rivers ran down his face.
They held each other close, both trying to comfort the other through the hurt that had been created.
"I'm so sorry...I always wanted to make you happy..." he forced the words out through clenched teeth, "I never wanted to hurt you...I thought if only I could just keep you happy I could deal with not being happy myself...I just wanted loving you to be en-" the rest of his words were lost in a sea of sobs.
"I love you...you always made me happy" she gasped in between sobs of her own, "I'm sorry you aren't happy anymore...I want you to be happy too."
He replied in hoarse, broken tones "I wish I could make it different...I wish I could change how I feel...I love you, and I never wanted to hurt you. I never wanted to break your heart. I tried so hard to just make you happy and to just be content that you were..."
They stared at each other with a deep overpowering sadness in their eyes. Both at a loss for words, drowning in their own grief and a pool of their combined tears; they knew that a great thing had been ruined forever.
"I'm so sorry..." he trailed off, holding her close, knowing it would be the last time he would ever get to hold his first love.
I'm so sorry Andrea...Some things you just can't change. I tried so hard to make it work. I put your happiness in front of my own for so long. I just couldn't do it anymore. Oh god I'm sorry. I will always love you. You are always welcome to call me...you will always be welcome to stop by my house...I hope you will forgive me.
I'm so sorry...

Love is not a tender thing. It is not smiles and hugs. It is not eternal and nor is it wondeful. Love is a fool's despair. Love is all things evil. Love is hurt and pain. Love is tears and death. If anyone tells you otherwise, they've never in the world felt something as great as love. But being great, must fianlly yeild doom.

Well, I hope the guy that's banging her right now doesn't get AIDS.
Get over it man, everyone gets fucked around at least once in life. It's good for the soul.
Your mom being a hooker is not.

It is always tough deciding what hurts more, when you kind of don't want it to end, and it is becoming a burden, or when you end up hating her because she is a worthless bitch.

Shitfuck - Thanks man, I would more expect some crazy rant about how I am untalented than words of advice from you.
GodChicken - I am upset because I love her, and would be with her if only we didn't live so far apart during the school year. If we were going to stay together then someone was going to have to transfer, because I couldn't do two more semesters of that. I love Iowa State, dreamt all my life of attending it, she loves the University of Iowa, and Iowa State doesn't even have her major. Give up your dream for your first love? I honestly thought about it, but well, you can't win 'em all, you know?
Fuck long distance relationships.
Anyway, I'm going to bed, peace.

Dude, think of the future--it only hurts for as long as you let it hurt, let it all go and move on.

Why are you sorry, if you are the one that was unhappy in the first place?
Noble, but you're killing yourself.

Stupid sentiments.
Y'know how they say "if you love something set it free, if it comes back to you, it is yours, otherwise it was never meant to be yours?" Well, I believe in "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, fine, otherwise hunt it down."
Stupid goddamn love-related bullshit.

Thanks for the support...after reading this through a couple times I have come to the conclusion that I should leave sappy stuff to Lojope.

Not much I can say here except that I'm drunk and enjoying my painkillers.
Alright, I'm not, but that's just my sad sad attempt at making you smile again. Did it work?

Sorry if this sucks, it's not my usual subject matter, and it is kind of hard to type while bawling. Thought maybe writing about it would help.
