I am going to tell you a story... this is not a movie script...
So two and a half years ago, I broke up with my girlfriend who I had dated for over four years. It was a painful time in my life and obviously difficult to get through. I stopped talking to her, in an attempt to move on. Here is where the story really begins... it starts where tons of stories usually do, guy meets a girl. This girl was different. She was beautiful and smart and we got along really well. However, I was still rebounding from my breakup, but it was OK, because this girl was unattainable anyway because she was in a relationship. This really helped me; I flirted with her, but would never do anything about it, because she was in a relationship. I was able to develop myself into seeing myself with other girls (if that makes sense), but in a harmless way, because it would never happen with her. This is when the plot thickens... she and I started hanging out more and more, and suddenly, we found out we had feelings for each other... real feelings. This did not help me, I suddenly really wanted to be with this girl, but could not have her. She told me that she was leaving town and would be gone for a long time, and her and her current boyfriend were breaking up. I could not contain myself around her, and asked her to see me for lunch. She happily agreed. It was at that lunch that I told her exactly how I felt about her and she reciprocated. The week before she was scheduled to leave we went on one date... which was amazing. We were both in a rebound scenario. The only reason (for both of us!) that we went on that date was because she was leaving. Then she left... for two years. For two years we did not speak to each other save a few cursory emails and the occasional, "I hope things are going well." In that time, she dated several people and I did the same, but neither of us found what we were looking for. After those two years, she came back to my town. She contacted me out of the blue and asked if I wanted to meet... I agreed. It was like she never left, the chemistry we both felt before, was there again, and this time... stronger. The mutual attraction was amazing and we quickly started dating each other. But now again... adversary is back and raising it's ugly head. Since she has been back... we have not been able to truly see each other because her job makes her work upwards of 70 hours a week... however, whenever she has a moment of free time... we see each other. Every time we see each other, it is amazing, when I see her, time stands still, but when we are together time flies and it is always late before we know it... Now her job is taking her away from my city... maybe for good. While she was gone, there were many times that I thought about her, and wished she was back, but there were many times where I was dating someone else and did not think of her for a time. I cannot ignore the fact that we are amazing together, she has said it many times and I couldn't agree more. When she leaves, I may be able to visit her this time, but she will still not be in this city. I do not know what to do. I do not know what to say. I do not know where she will be next week, let alone a year from now. I do not know if we were meant to be together or if this is some sort of cosmic joke on me... on us. Please tell me that someone out there has been through something like this...
