Another day on my own...

I really have to wonder sometimes if getting my heart ripped out time after time is some kind of karmic payback from a past life or something. Before anyone starts with the "You just haven't found the right guy" crap...Stop. Because I did find him...3 times...and yes it was different guys and before you say "Well how can that be? They obviously weren't the right guy because you aren't still with any of them" Let me explain.

Guy #1- Was and is one of my best friends and unfortunatly(For me) is currently in a marriage of convenience. We are very close but never acted upon anything romantic because by the time I confessed how I felt about him he was already involved with someone else. Even though he's not with anyone now neither of us acts upon it because it would ruin the friendship. He's my intellectual better half. My tactical advisor when I need a plan of attack, my partner in crime. He has truely seen me at my worst and yet picks me up and encourages me to be my best. We accept each other completely as the other one is and have, nor will probably ever, ask the other to change any part of themselves that they don't wish to. I adore him still, and we're very protective of each other. He's my "Knight in tarnished armor" and I'm his "Kagé Nísou" (It's Japanese for Shadow Priestess). He is the steel, I am the magicks.

Guy#2- Is an ex boyfriend who I was introduced to by my best girl friend. He was a co-worker of hers who had a girlfriend at the time but the relationship was going south. Neither of us wanted a relationship at the time, to put it bluntly we just wanted a good fuck. It wasn't always about that thankfully and a strong friendship developed. Thankfully it was able to withstand the dissipation of our romantic relationship and continue. It was one of those things where at the time it was right but things happened in the course of it that made us realize that no matter how much we tried to rebuild the romance, as friends we would always trust each other but as girlfriend and boyfriend we could never go there again.

Guy #3 is the relationship I am currently trying to fight for...or I should say trying to surrender it into the hands of the Gods and let them guide my footsteps where they should lead. I believe that he and I have come much to far to give up on this and others agree with me that he needs to get his priorities straight and hopefully he'll wake up and hopefully I'll still be there when he realizes he's been a fool...which is not an easy thing for him to admit because whether he wants to or not, he is a very prideful man. But it's one of the things I love about him because it's one of the things that makes him strong. Or maybe it's just plain stubborn...I don't know it could be both for all I know. All I know is I love him. I could go into more details but whoever is reading this would be gagging from the sicky sweetness of it all. *L*

Maybe I'll find someone else, but I doubt it. There's just some things you KNOW. No matter how open you try to keep your heart some of us are just supposed to walk this earth alone...I keep reminding him the future isn't written in stone.

Who knows...Not I.

Ok, so if anyone reads that last post they'll either think I'm lovesick or psychotic...
It might be a little of both.
After Anthony I was convinced that there were no more happy endings. No Prince to take me away to their castle and make me feel like a real Princess. Sure I play it off like I'm one...but then this great guy came along that my best girl introduced me to and he was so sweet, and patient and funny and I fell, no matter how hard I tried to fight it I fell so hard. Truth was around him I didn't need to be anyone but me...
Not the daughter who tries to constantly fight her way through futile attempts to please her mother who constantly tells her she's to fat or she's not working hard enough, not Princess Rachael who tries to shine as bright as the other people around her and not blend into the woodwork...
I was just Elizabeth; Just his Eliza. And that was enough for me...Finally, I didn't have to be someone I wasn't around him.
I'm tired...so tired.
Tired of being told that I'm good enough to be a friend, but not to be a wife.
Tired of endlessly wearing my heart on my sleeve only get it ripped out
Tired of having my dreams be shattered and putting the pieces back together one by one.
Tired of rebuilding myself again and again...
Don't tell me I deserve better, because whatever you think I deserve doesn't exist and it's not what I want.
I want us...The life we talked over and over of having. Getting married, settling down, starting a little "Baseball team" of our own.
I deserve you...
And if I can't have that then Goddess give me the strength to move on because I'm tired of loving this way.

How can you just walk on by
Without one tear in your eye
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all...
It's been almost 2 weeks I've been without you.

Without your touch... your kiss...Without your physical presence near me.

And yet you're everywhere.

I still feel you in my bed, your arms around me...

Your eyes watching me constantly...

Your voice is ever present in my mind. The promises you made, the life we started to plan, the vows you swore are written on my heart....

I gave you everything. Heart, Body, and Soul.

You said it yourself...One of the reasons you love me is because I always see the good in the world in spite of the bad. You were the one who kept me "good".

You were right...That quote I wrote was all about you:

"How do you learn to live again when you want to sink to the bottom of your river of tears and lie with the pieces of your broken heart?"

I go from wanting to eat nothing, to wanting to eat everything.

I can't sleep. Popping a pill won't help. I struggle to keep myself from drinking me into a mind numbing stupor because when I sleep all I see if my dreams of us. Of a future that you say won't happen. A future that what's left of my heart and soul won't let me give up on. A future that my "Gift" and my other friends keep telling me not to give up on...To stay strong and live my life as I've done before...

You have no idea how far I've fallen from grace...

Revenge? You couldn't fathom the ideas I've come up with. You've never seen me truely out for blood...You wouldn't think me capable of such maliciousness and pain.

But I know it'll only numb the pain for a little while, the joy of seeing you suffer as I have would be short lived and then where would I be?

You were it for me...My last chance for the future I wanted for myself.

Príncipe de mi corazón

Fenrir to my Lupa

My only love...
