So just over a week ago was my ex-girlfriend’s 23 birthday, so I decided I would call Jamie and wish her a Happy Birthday. Now I haven’t really blogged too much about her but as many of my friends know, she’s been on my mind a whole lot this past year. I’ve missed her a lot. And I did the real hard thing last year at the end of the Spring semester and told her that she couldn’t come over any more, she couldn’t park at my apartment and have me drive her to class, she couldn’t come over and have lunch with me anymore. It was hard at the time but it really was for the best. In that phone conversation I found out that the guy she started dating a few months back had proposed and she’d accepted. I thought hearing this would upset me but it didn’t upset me like I thought it would. I kept waiting for it to upset me but it never did upset me too much. The best analogy I can think of that compares how I felt is like that of a big thunderstorm banging and clanging around and pouring down rain. Once it passes and it’s getting sunny out again, but in the distance you can still see those dark clouds as they keep passing and still rumbling.

In the end, a part of me will always love her and care about her and want the best for her. She brought a lot of sunshine to my life when we were together and we had a great time together, and I’ll always be grateful for the time we spent together.
