Okay, well, there's this guy....
Gimme a common name here....ummm...Sam! That's a common name, right? Okay, well, this guy, Sam, is umm...Wow. How do I say this?
It's difficult. Shall I start from the beginning? Yes? Alright, then.
Okay, so, Me and this guy, Sam, were boyfriend and girlfriend last year...and when we were, we loved each other to death, you follow? So you can imagine how crushed I'd been when I saw him through a window one day. He was outside, climbing this big tree, and he was all smiley. It killed me, because whenever I was around him, he went monotone, agreed to everything I said, and I was the one who made him laugh. Supposed to be vice-versa, don't you think?
Well anyway, he and his family went on a trip across the country over the summer, so I had no one to talk to. I was alone with my soul and my annoying thoughts.
I got to thinking...was it me who made him feel all dead when he was around me? (That's right, I'm so slow, it took me that long to figure that out.) I didn't want to admit it was my fault, though I knew it was. After a while, I decided it would be better for him if he was more like he had been when I was watching him.
So...I convinced myself to stop loving him during those long summer months.
Right before school started, I broke up with him, not loving him like I had trained myself to.
Everyone said he was crushed, and we didn't speak for a while.
Now, we're both back in school, and all we've ever been after that was friends, right?
So, what's the problem, you ask?
He's in a few of my classes, and I was talking to him about a month back...and he was smiley again. Though I had trained myself to feel numb to emotions, all I could feel was a need.
I wanted him again.
I am an all-too selfish creature.
I spent that night thinking about the pros and cons, the dos and don'ts. The only conclusion I could come to was that I still wanted him.
He hangs out with someone I don't favour very much a lot. That made me a bit uncomfortable for a while. I set it aside, thinking only of myself. (I know, I suck.)
I asked him out again, and we're going out now...but here's when the problem comes in.
I'm not sure where his loyalties lie; If he likes me, or the someone I have a few hard feelings against. I heard somewhere through the grapevine that he told that someone that he "Didn't want to screw up again." That can be interpreted in more than one way.
But he barely ever speaks to me...I know he doesn't love me anymore.
I know I have no right to feel crushed, because I'm the one who did it.
So then why do I feel this way?
