Well Feb the 16 will mark the 6th year of my divorce.I still get sad thinking about it but I've learned to let good memories take the place of the bad ones concerning both the marriage and divorce.So with that in mind I'd like to share a good memory.
I met her in highschool. Actually I saw her standing with a couple of girls in the hallway outside the cafeteria.Me and the gang of guys I hung out with were metal heads with long hair,ripped jeans,tattoos and leather jackets.We were kinda rough but not trouble makers just regular guys who liked heavy metal music and partying. So anyway she caught my eye right away. She was pretty in a clean cut way that was worlds different from the other girls I usually dated.Back then she had long,shining sable colored hair that spilled down the back of the pink blouse that she was wearing.I didn't say anything to her that first day but she stuck in my mind all that day and the next.Well about a week later I saw her walking across campus with these twin blonde guys I'd had beef with since school had started.They were on the football team.They were big,beefy and obnoxious.So I automatically assumed that she was dating one of them and decided to put her out of my mind.It turned out that the twins were her brothers which is another story for another day.Well eventually I got up enough courage to approach her one morning before classes started.It was the first time that I'd been close enough to her to really notice that she had a natural olive complexion and gunmetal gray eyes but I thought her eyebrows were too dark and thick like Brooke Shields were back in the day although that didn't matter.She was very pretty and turned out to be a nice girl and I was just crazy about her from that moment on even though my friends were like "It's not gonna work out" and saying things like "she's too classy for a mop head like you" and blah blahblah...I kept pursuing her and really going the distance until one day she started to realize that I was serious about her and we ended up a couple. Oh but it wasn't as simple as I'm making it out to be.Remember that me and her brothers couldn't get along and boy did we have some trouble and rough times...
One of the twins broke my nose in a fight and e.t.c..
And for a while her dad was suspicious of my motives for dating his daughter.They were judging me by the way I looked which now that I've thought about it I did look like "bad news".It was the hair,tats and also could have been the fact that I had both ears pierced and wore a silver skull earring in my right ear and a silver dagger in my left...
These days I don't wear ear jewelry or any jewelry.
Bottom line I still miss her although I've learned to let her go but the memories remain and they can be bittersweet...
Now I'm real good friends with one of the twins and just last month he let slip that she's getting married in June and I was trying to act all cool about it but I'm really not Okay with it but oh well(shrugs)...
My other friends have constantly been trying to hook me up with women but so far I haven't met the "ONE".I guess I'll have to put more of an effort into dating but right now I'm not interested in anyone.I do date but with women I've known so long that they're more like " sisters" or friends than a potential love interest.Like I've said my ex was different than the others.She has a certain qaulity. Now I wish I wouldn't have been such a jerk during the last part of our marriage maybe then we'd still be together.
