Our relationship was full of numbers. We met somewhere around 062509. We started “talking” sometime before 081709. We made it official on 083109. We got “married” on 090409. We broke up 4 times. We found our way back to each other 3 times. We were together for a total of almost 10 months. We’ve had our share of drama, mistrust, problems, broken hearts, and disloyalty from the day we met until 100810, the last time we talked. He was my number 1 best friend. He was the person that I believed in 11:11 for. Our last time trying, I asked him back on 081410 (his birthday), and he asked me back on 082410 (my birthday) because he never answered me when I asked. He officially walked out of my life on 100410 and I’ve been officially in love with him for 488 days. That’s about 15 months and 27 days. Which is also 695,520 minutes, or11,592 hours. Altogether, I’ve been waiting for my best friend, my other half, to see me again the way I still see him for about 5 months now. I’ve rejected 4 guys during my wait for him.
Is that a bit much to handle? Not to worry, I’m almost done. Here’s just one more number to go: 1000.
That’s one thousand cranes I folded and threaded together to make sure my wish for the new year comes true. My wish for 2011 isn’t to be with him; it’s just for him to be safe and happy where ever he is. Be it bootcamp, the air force, home, outside, inside, whatever. That’s not too much to ask for, is it?
P.S. The whole Dear Mistah post you made with my letter put online for the public view was touching and all but.. it doesn’t mean anything when your new girlfriend is waiting at home with the promise that you’ll marry her when you come back. But thank you anyway. For a moment there, I thought I saw the boy that would call me at 4am to hear me say “I love you”, the boy that once planned out our entire future, together.. Memories are nice; reminds me exactly how much being with you meant to me.
