just seeing you...

Feb 01, 2006 19:57

I saw a picture of someone I used to love dearly...and it made my heart sink. It is sad when you lose someone you loved so much. I remember the day so well from the picture. I will never speak to her again and that is sad.

ugh...why do I even care? She treated me like shit in the end.

Maybe because of the the loss of innocence that goes along with it? At one time, I'm sure you (both) thought "this is it". Then, it wasn't. You can't come away from that without it changing you at least a little.

you care because you have a heart...

I do?

queer_deviant February 2 2006, 03:18:26 UTC

yeah, you do. i wouldn't love you so much if you were heartless. if you didn't hurt and it was someone you loved, i think i'd worry...

I understand. Caring sucks, doesn't it? lol

I've been there and done that, on a couple of different levels -- from thinking it was true love (and it wasn't, but it sure was obsession coupled with hot sex) to just losing touch with a best friend over stupid stupid shit.

*sigh* I don't know. That's life and love, I guess.

Must be that time of year. Just about a year ago this week, the woman I loved more than anyone I've ever known dumped me via a cold, impersonal two paragraph email after nearly 11 years of love, laughter, tears, friendship and support. No notice, no warning signs. Nothing. Never saw her or spoke to her again ( ... )

Why Not Burn Them? anonymous February 2 2006, 18:22:22 UTC

I burned the old photos.....and the letters too when I realized they would only bring me pain. I'm not one to say "Here's a photo that will make me feel like crap, I think I'll keep it"

Plus - it's slanted history. Photos and love letters usually only portray the good times. So sad, isn't it? That it ended?

The whole relationship, start to finish, is always there in your mind/heart anyway whether you like it or not. I don't need the 'evidence' that it was real or good for a time. So let your mind and heart keep your memory. Why seek pain out when we all already have enough of it just living??

alas...it wasn't a photo I had..but rather a photo on a website...a friend's website. Remember much of my past is very well documented. :(

The internet's kind of evil in that way...I feel for you. To be honest, if there were photos on the net, I'd look too and get the same sinking feeling. Why do we do that to ourselves? Maybe it's just the mourning process and accept that loss never really goes away (even if we burn the evidence).
