It's Over

Well, he dumped me.
Despite his tears when I asked if he wanted to break up a month ago and him having me over to his grandparents' for Christmas, he never had feelings for me.
I knew it was too good to be true.  This is why I never date good-looking people.  They aren't grateful for what they have.  Yes, I'm fat.  I'm awkward, odd, difficult, stubborn, and scary smart.  But I also cooked for him, cleaned for him, helped him with his paperwork, stayed late at school with him to help him...  I was so loving and caring and supportive.  I wish he saw that he was lucky to have me.  I wish he wasn't stupid and selfish in the end.  
I wish a lot of things.  
Sadly, now, I don't even have the option of looking elsewhere.  The pain is so great I've had mild cardiac events and I need to lose weight before I go on.  Well, that'll be tough.  I still need my ice cream.  And lots of painkillers...  
I miss his touch.  I miss his arms around me, comforting, tender, strong.  I miss his soft, moist lips against mine, hungry for more.  I miss the weight of him, the reality of him, in my arms.  I miss his smell.  I miss his laugh, his smile, his sparkling eyes.  I miss him.  
But it's over now.  And all my dreams are gone with him.
My first Valentine's Day, with a candlelit dinner, a card, and dancing in the kitchen.
A snowball fight.
Teaching me to rollerblade.
Bowling.
Cuddling under the stars.
Chicken fights in the pool.
Tickling to old comedies.
His hand on mine at Pesach.
A real anniversary together.
Walking down the stairs in a gown, and the look on his face when he sees me.
Praying and reading the Bible together.
Kissing under a snowfall.
And most of all, a black-haired little boy bumping his head while playing dinosaur, and crying inconsolably until his daddy comes to hold him.
But that future is not to be, and it's time I let go of it.  The grief is too great for me to bear.  It'll kill me in the end.  It's over now.  It's all over.

I am so sorry for your breakup and all you have been thru. You have taken it so hard. It is tough when we think this is the one. You did so many things together. Cherish the memories, but tell yourself it wasn\'t met to be. Focus on yourself and what is good for you. Take care.

We didn\'t get to do any of the things in my entry... I just wished we could have. Thank you, though. I appreciate it.
