A love story, part 2

So after the painful breakup of January

I finally went back to school

and people walked around me

more carefully which

was kind of silly

because I definitely cried

more than I screamed.

But after that I dated someone else

K, we'll call him

and it was funny and pleasant

and honestly, a long time coming

as we had been flirting for a long time

and I had been his first kiss

and he needed a girlfriend

and I needed a person 

who would love me 

for a while

and he did

and I did

and after graduation

life got tough because

we didn't see each other everyday

and people weren't as supportive

and it
just
got
hard
so I ended it. And he was horribly
sad and i was sad
but I knew I wanted to be single
in college
but

One day,

after months had passed

and I had graduated high school

and time had healed me, for the most part

(and it had, kind of, because I contacted him in May, maybe

after cutting off contact in January

But only to tell him that I had gotten into college)
but then I contacted the man
I had fallen in love with
once
and told him how I was
doing
and asked how he was
doing
and lo and behold
he was single!

I believe I was angry
when I found out
because he broke up with
me for someone who wasn't the love
of his life because I knew when we first dated
that this was someone who I'd never get tired of.
but that didn't matter too much
so we talked a while
and decided to go for lunch one day.
And I got excited.
