Colin just left about an hour ago. He is driving to Chicago tonight and then on to La Crosse tomorrow. To be a total girl, I just spent that hour crying my eyes out. My fucking eyelids are so swollen it looks like someone punched me in the face.
In total, he and I spent an entire month together. Tonight will be my first night sleeping alone since mid-december. It has been a fantastic month, and saying goodbye to him gets harder every time.
To sum up some of the more amazing points about the month we spent together:
1. Colin took me on a horse drawn carriage ride through downtown La Crosse's amazing Christmas light display. One of the most romantic evenings ever.
2. Meeting of relatives on both sides went very well. I especially love Colin's mother.
3. Trip to OH was more amazing than I can tell anyone. It meant so much to me to see everyone again and have such a wonderful time without being consumed by worry and stress.
4. Ice skating with Colin = wonderful.
5. Babylon 5 with Colin = wonderful.
6. One night for dinner Colin and I dressed up very fancy and slowly danced to music in my living room. He tried to teach me how to dip. I've never felt more beautiful than at that moment.
I miss him so much already. I am fighting the urge to go smell his pillow.
