This Friday will be three months to the day since the last time we met.
I doubt the other party will even remember. But for me it will be significant. After this Friday I will be able to close the final door.
I have moved on a hell of a lot in the last 3 months but the thing that kept drawing me back was the fact that I felt that life was trying to tell me something, but I couldnt quite work out what that something was.
It would have been easy to think that the lesson was, 'dont trust men', but it was men that helped me move on and it was one particular man who took time and trouble to pick up the pieces and stick me back together (sadly this cost him dearly and I very much regret that) so fortunately Im not going to go with that message/lesson.
And then it hit me the message has to be not dont trust but dont depend on anyone too much. Ive always been fairly independent and until I met him I always more or less just relied on myself. Then I got used to talking to someone, discussing ideas and things that had happened, nothing terribly important just ordinary every day
things.In retrospect I should not have done so and I think that is the message life was throwing at me.
At first that is what I really missed, haivng someone I could trust to talk to about ordinary everyday things, someone who actually seemd to listen and be interested. However, it appears I had it wrong. I wont risk being let down like that again, my gran was right when she used to say , 'Dont rely on anyone else for anything'. It is easy to forget, as we get older, the lessons our childhood taught us, I wont ,not again.
I am ctually looking forward to this Friday; Im spending the morning with a new friend and the Afternoon with someone who helped me through the shit, someone who I respect a lot and who perhaps Ive not always been that nice to (but isnt that what a real friend is someone you dont alwys have to be polite and nice to?.In the evening Im off out on my own which again is great I need time to myself,(I believe very much that if you cant enjoy your own company how can you expect others to?) and then I shall bolt the final door and raise the drawbridge. Its over and the lesson is learnt.
Only regret is that the sex was out of this world
