The Break Up

August 23, 2009

That's what they say, anyway...
all good things must come to an end.
Does this always have to be true?

For those of you who have followed my blog for a while,
I'm sure you know about my partner, Andrew (thebuxstophere).
We'd been together for almost 7 years.
That good thing came to an end this week.
We'd been having our issues for a while,
but were taking steps to work on those.
(or so I thought)...

Unfortunately, issues that started out as minor
were allowed to go unresolved between us
and grew into larger problems
to the point where they just couldn't be fixed...

I've learned a lot from Andrew
and I know he has learned a lot from me.
Am I sad by our breakup?
Of course,
but I know the process of healing has to take place for both of us
and after we've had our recovery time,
I think we'll both look back at the past 7 years as a wonderful
and very valuable experience for us both
that neither of us will ever forget.

The one thing I am regretful of
is the fact that
due to circumstances
around the end of our relationship,
we will never be able to be friends
or even speak to each other again
for reasons we are both aware of...

Must all good things end?
No. ALL good things do not end.
Some do, but not all.
Things that end are always replaced
by the beginning of something else.
Sometimes it's just difficult
and takes a while to see it.
