A year and a day (part one)

1

Did he wake you up as well, by blowing softly in your ear? Did he continue to drink orange juice straight from the bottle after you moved in with him? Did he do all those things with you -  like he did with me? 2

and,3

most of all, did it make you love him even more, like I did? He deserved the best. Were you it?4

You have no idea how silent everything got after we 'went our separate ways'... meaning, of course, after you came along and swept him off his feet. (yes, I am bitter, but I allow myself to be)5

Yet, now that You are here, that You are stretched out on my couch, that You drink fudgey liquor 'till the late hours of the night, I wonder if I ever really noticed the absence. He never really left, you know? In a higher sense of the word that carrying his pillow under his arm and climb into your car. Now, it is as though his presence is even stronger, now that two of his lovers are gathered in the same building. Is he standing by my side as I pour us another round? Is he sitting on the armrest where you rest your head when it feel too heavy to hold up? He - with his calm, wild eyes, and black hair crowing the most beautiful face? Oh, how I hated you for stealing what was mine. Now, I see that it was inevitable. You were in love, you were right, you were everything I was not, you were all he needed. 6

Promise me one thing, Jacques, that you took good care of him those last days and nights. Promise?7

    I understand it. Maybe not the same way you wrote it but I know it well. My ex boyfriend...I talked to him last night actually, and both of us has new girl/boy-friends. BUT the fact that I have never moved on just yet is killer to my heart. I still love him, he just doesn't know it. Also, in my stupid selfish way I would rather have him all to myself, despite how happy she might make him. He could fall in love and I will forever wish it was with me.

    Great writing, it spoke to me almost too much.

    ah, yes, I don't blame you for not understanding.. everything will be clearer once I get up more of the story, such as who the characters really are, what their relations are, and how they got where they are.
    I appreciated that you took the time to read this, and that you commented. many thanks,
