Life moves right along...

Life doesn't stop. And when you know something is over, then it can really be over, as long as you let go. I let go. And my previous relationship ended without a hitch. There was no drawn out drama. There was no prolonged heartache. It was one day of feeling like, "Whoah, what?" And that was only because it happened so suddenly. But the next morning I woke up feeling happy and free. There was no regret. I didn't have to erase his phone number or his email address. I didn't have to worry about doing something stupid like calling him drunk, or going back to him. The relationship was over. And life moved on.

It didn't take long... because he was already there. The feelings had already been brewing for someone else. It took a week, and something new has managed to manifest itself. I don't know what it is, how big it will be, how long it will last. But for now... I am enjoying the look of smiling eyes, the feel of a warm hand, the sound of a new voice speaking my name, familiarizing myself with a new scent. And as it always does, this makes the sky seem bluer, the grass greener, the air crisper. Life moves right along... and I'm going with it. :)

All I can say is...

All I can say is that I don't want to give up on love. On real, huge, wonderful love. The kind of love that stops me in my tracks, *almost* makes me forget my life, and then lets me know, THIS is it. I just don't want to give up on that kind of love.

And so for now, I'll just continue to love my wonderful, incredibly sweet, sometimes crazy, totally loving and beautiful cat.
