I had the luck to meet the love of my life, lose her, and get her back again.

We dated for two intense years at 19 and 20, the last six months of which was a long-distance affair... we decided that was too gruesome a prospect and went our own ways. We each had our own torrid, painful and scarring relationships afterwards with other people.

Fast forward eight years, and I'm planning a driving trip from SF around the country, to visit old friends. On a whim, I call the only person I know between CA and Boston, she's in Denver, ask her if I could crash a night, maybe we could have dinner.

We married six months later. People in Boston are still waiting for me to show up.

After six wonderful years of marriage, she's "lost the fire" for me and is moving on. Who knows, maybe I'll finally make it to Boston now. Or maybe I just have to wait another eight years for the wheel to spin around for us again.

...and if THAT didn't harsh on yer mellow, I don't know what will. :evilgrin: Sorry! :D

Love! Feh! ;)
