Remembering the Sailor

[fleurdeleo]

It’s Valentine’s Day at the Loew’s Coronado Bay Resort. You can tell by the many arrangements of red roses that overflow the concierge desk and bell stand. And by the young (and not so young) bed-headed couples holding hands, strolling through the hallways and lobby

This is so bizarre...I went through the same thing a couple of years ago...sitting in front of the phone book, wondering whether to call or not...except that I had genuinely been in love with the guy and it had all fallen apart in less than closure-like circumstances...but the realization that *their* life also went on...just like yours...that they're ten, twenty years older...just like you...in the end i really didn't want to see him...

but that line's perfect. LOL.

I'm glad you could relate to my story--but it must have been torture for you! It's so hard to be in love with someone, be so close, and then have it over. Really hard to compute. I always think of that Whitney Houston song, "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?" You know, that line, "once somebody loves you, don't they always love you?"
It takes a lot of wisdom to know that people move on with their lives & you obviously have that.
