What do you think of the whole thing? The few years we really knew each other.
I'm happy for the days we had, for the sunlit mornings where we would awake to discover each other all over again but somehow it would never get old. For the times we could just drive around all day and it was like the town was ours, and I didn't know how to appreciate any of it but god damn if I don't miss it. For your silence, your strength, your pigheadedness, that frustrated me like no tomorrow but I would love to be in its presence again. The little dreams we had, and the big ones - I'm sad that we never made love to Enigma, like you wanted; that we never could sit in a natural setting and have us both appreciate it, that we never will go to Japan together or decorate our apartment like the cheap goth section of Spencer's. That we'll never work together; I'll never be your Secretary and give you head under your desk; you'll never take off your business suit and screw me silly the moment you walk in the door.
I hurt for everything you never told me, for everything you did; for all the thoughtless words I said to you, for all the moments of intimacy I was too scared to feel. For all the times it felt like you weren't really there; I would love to go back and somehow see if you actually were. For all the times you made me feel like I wasn't real; well, here I am. When I told you it wasn't the same, or as good, with anyone else, and you responded with "I broke you." Is that what you wanted? For this new girl that you can play Katamari with and go dancing with, (you were too tired to go places with me after the novelty wore off; will you get like that with her too?). This woman who will wear skimpy "Fuck Me, I'm Irish" panties for you but won't let you hug female friends (you can't say I didn't give you freedom). I have a new boyfriend, but sometimes you wouldn't know it. Sometimes I barely know it. Is this what you wanted? Are you happy?
Just for once, would you fucking answer me?
I suppose this is why we don't talk anymore. The lines of communication open - it could be at Chili's, at your house, on the phone while you're at work, while I'm at school, any old place. The unspoken weight of two years of chemistry and confusion, compassion and catharsis hangs between us. It comes up, it rears it's head; all it takes is a simple "What's wrong" from one of us and it's all over. Sometimes friendship is impossible, sometimes things are just too intense, too raw, our minds always like exposed muscle in each others' presence.
I miss you.

Dutch ovens are shweet. Especially when you do it to yourself.

Dutch oven is when you fart in bed and then pull the sheets up over whoever you are in bed with.

Thank you so much for the input, guys. Even the negative comments - the suicide one made me laugh. It's nice to write something competely emo and not have it TOO badly ripped apart. I won't make a habit of this, don't worry. It was a long, messy breakup, and it mostly happened around this time last year, so I got all gay over it. Anyway...!
I've heard of Rear Admirals, felching, Angry Dragons, and Rusty Trombones, but what's a Dutch Oven? Can someone explain this to me? I could look it up, but I'd much rather hear it from one of the lovely Uberusers.

It's a bit melodramatic, but I meant it.

Love is when you can fart in bed and she reaches over and lifts and drops the cover 4 or 5 times wafting the stink in your direction.

no, Love is when she submits to a 'Dutch Oven'...

This is the kind of thing I want to write and am afraid everyone will -2 the hell out of.
Breakups suck. So does them starting to fuck a total idiot that happened to be the first person they met on the rebound. Things will get better.

After reading it was rather 'meh'. I want to read about desolate lonely people and unrequited love. I want to read about burns victims who are too disfigured to find love. I want to read about paedophiles and forbidden love. I want to read stories about edgy, original and interesting topics.
I do not want to read "boo hoo, I miss my old boyfriend". You've got your rebound guy, so get over it.

"\i may as well have fucking written this myself. what Chroniclysm said is too true. some things just... last.
i don't agree with sinna at all. it's been my experience that, whenever you have a truly and uncommonly deep connection with a person, both you and she are able and willing to express it in manners commonly considered crude yet with that intensity of emotion behind every moment together in front of your eyes like a window sunrise, it doesn't matter how rough or crude or crass you get, it just reinforces what's already there in a whole new way, nothing can detract from it and it's great.
but yeah eventually it gets fucked up and then people write posts like this.

that we never will go to Japan together or decorate our apartment like the cheap goth section of Spencer's. That we'll never work together; I'll never be your Secretary and give you head under your desk; you'll never take off your business suit and screw me silly the moment you walk in the door.

For a moment I thought this was about Thorpe and Williamson.

I don't think this line was necessary. I think it detracted from the point.

That's what me and the current bf do now. Maybe this really is better love : D
Thanks for the input, guys, you're giving me good advice. I really appreciate it. Keep it coming?

It doesn't always completely go with time. Some of it might always be waiting around the next corner to kick you in the teeth and send you barhopping for the night.

Give it time. Most common advice, and the best advice. After time, the pain will ease. You won't forget it's there, but it will be bearable. Then, one day, you will be able to see things from the perspective of someone who isn't hurt, like all those friends of yours that have shitty boyfriends, and you tell them, but they don't listen. When you see it from that point of view, the question that you have won't be, "does he miss me too?" It will be, "What was I thinking?"
Pity +2 because that shit is teh suX until you reach that point.

'Love Chemistry' only lasts a year or 18 months. After that, it's up to the actual compatibilities and interesting differences. Choose wisely.
