On the 3rd of July one year ago I was seated around a<br />
glass table outside on my girl-friend’s patio. There<br />
were exactly five people, including myself, seated<br />
around the table.<br />
One of them I knew and the other three I was meeting<br />
for the first time. The stranger that was seated<br />
opposite me, staring at me with a goofy/stalker smile,<br />
would become the greatest love of my life, my fiancé<br />
and the reason why I lost faith in affection and gained<br />
belief in love. The young couple on the edge of<br />
engagement would separate a few months later and<br />
almost never talk to one another again. Finally, the<br />
lady that was the reason for me meeting them would turn against me and do awful things<br />
just to get her way in life.<br />
It is astonishing if you take a few moments from your day just to try and remember or<br />
notice the changes around you and those changes that affected you directly. How you use<br />
to think and the dreams and ideals you use to have. I use to believe in a love without<br />
faults or arguments, I use to believe that relationships lasts forever and I use to believe<br />
that friends are always around.<br />
Truth is, even though those beliefs and dreams of mine might seem childish I still consider<br />
them a possibility – because nothing is truly impossible.<br />
On the 23rd of November 2011, my fiancé and I separated and I<br />
had to go and live with a friend of mine for a week or two just to<br />
find my feet in life. A life where I solemnly believed that I would<br />
be without him forever and that is exactly how I started to plan<br />
and live my life. Friends came and went as my life progressed and<br />
I kept on building. Loneliness took hold and sympathetic<br />
relationships fell into place. Those were relationships that rose<br />
and fell because of an un-solid foundation. How can you build a<br />
tower to reach heaven, when your heart is not in the foundation?<br />
I never bothered to care about who came and went because no<br />
one could hurt me more than the pain of missing him hurt me every day.<br />
It was about two months ago that I had finally given up on the thought of ever being with<br />
him again, seeing that it had been two months since he had terminated and blocked
