I’m 27 and I finally understand country music.

My high school sweetheart and I broke up over four years ago, yet she’s all I can think about. I have dated tons of girls since we broke up and I’ve had several serious girlfriends, but nobody compares to Brooke…the one that got away. Every night, I think of her sweet embrace as I drift off. I reminisce of the days I woke up to her sweet kiss when she left for work. She loved me selflessly and I managed to ruin the best thing that ever happened to me. Now I’m left wondering if I will ever love again. I know it can happen…she has since married someone else. I recently heard that the average woman dates 24 guys before finding the one. Well, I’ve probably gone out with at least 50 girls since I broke up with the love of my life and so far it’s all been in vain. I’m thankful for the five years of my life when I experienced true love, but now I’m left with a void that may never be filled. I constantly daydream of running away to some exotic destination in South America or maybe some less traveled Eastern European destination. However, I know that what I am seeking will not be found there. I am simply running away from my problem, rather than confronting it. Every weekend, I go out drinking with my friends, who all happened to be married or in serious relationships. I’m the last man standing. I have so much love to give…so many experiences I want to share. Am I doomed to live a lonely existence? I guess only time will tell. To everyone out there who has lost “the one”…I feel your pain. After all, I am writing this because my ex’s bday is May 3rd. I guess some people never drift far from your thoughts…

I think you’ll move on eventualy. You just can’t right now because no one is the right person. I’ve lost my guy because of a crazy drug addict woman who apparently doesn’t like me going near her son. I can tell you though that it’s probably best to just sit back and relax for a couple of days and then just sort of take on a new perspective. You never know what you might find. There never realy is “the one” just one of many. She might be one of kind but there could always be someone whos another one of a kind but in a different way. And who knows, you might like that one better. Don’t let one person stop you. There’s the usual old sayings “Plenty more fish in the sea.” “Plenty more birds in the sky.” or if your goth “Plenty more bats in the cave.” Things will get better. Take it from a womans perspective. Good Luck!
