It’s so weird to think that we met when I was the age you are now. To think that you and I grew up together, in a way. To think that I’ve been blogging about you, on this very blog, for almost 3 years, now. But my original statement about your appearance continues to prove true. Every time I see you, you’re more beautiful than the time before.
I feel helpless around you, unsure of what to do. Just seeing your name makes my entire body shake, seeing your texts make my stomach ache, hearing your voice makes my thoughts quake, and seeing your face makes me want to cry, for heaven’s sake.
I went onto my own FaceBook profile not 10 minutes ago, and in the box of friends, I see someone has a new profile picture. I can’t tell who it is, but they are very pretty. I scanned over it, saw your name, saw the full picture, and immediately felt my chest get heavy. My hands shook, my stomach felt like it was going to burst. I jumped into bed, and I cried. I cried my eyes out because the young girl I spent 2-1/2 years with is becoming a grown-up, beautiful … Absolutely gorgeous woman. The most beautiful woman I’ve seen, from the most gorgeous girl I’d seen. But it isn’t the beauty that broke me down, it’s the fact that, that woman no longer wants to grow with me. That’s what destroys me.
I don’t really have anything else to say. I guess I just miss being happy with her, seeing her smile, making her laugh. Now it’s always either screams, cries, moans, or silence. Things will never be the way they once were, and I understand that. But I don’t ever want to go back to how it ever was. I just want to start anew, to grow with you, and to be somewhere we never have been. Somewhere happily at peace with each other. No love, but no war. No lust, but no attacks. Just peace.
Beautiful, beautiful peace.
