So, i was not expecting to FU today in this way but let me spin you my yarn.

A few years ago I used to be in an LDR with this very amazing and beautiful woman who I had known for years. I can’t give too many details just because I don’t know if she’s on here. We took a trip together and it was a fantastic time. We had fun and just really got to be together. It was magical and something I hadn’t felt before. You ever met that one that just gets you and makes you feel something the others before them didn’t make you feel? That’s what this was. I didn’t want to fuck it up and lose her… and I didn’t fuck it up, but I did lose her.

She was learning more about herself and as she did, she had grown distant until she just had to break away to pursue her thing. I was fully supportive because I didn’t feel it was my place to stop her from doing what mattered most for her. Gross time jump, but she eventually found someone and married and even got pregnant. I was shattered when I heard about it but I kept a smile on and supported her.

Well, fast forward to today and here I am sitting at work and decided to clean my old voicemails out.

Bad move.

There were so many from her in just the most loving of tones. She would sometimes leave me some to wake up to. And it just hurt… knowing it’s a time in life gone. And it got even worse when I the voicemails shifted from that love to platonic. I’m not crying, and I’ll be okay… but man it was like a knife twisted in me from old wounds I didn’t want to open again… it hurts to know something that special got away, but i live on and move forward.

TL;DR - I listened to and deleted voicemails from someone very special to me who I’ve long since been broken up with.

Edit: I forgot they were there
