"New love is grand. Savor all the crazy, muddled might of it."


Weeks later, fixing myself. 

The only way out of a labyrinth of suffering is to forgive. I have forgiven. It just continues to happen. The rejection. Carelessness but after all I'm allowing it. Everything. But I'm happier. Fucking so much happier.  

I'm dating again, without her even being an option anymore. Isn't that what Dezaray wanted? Disregarded me like I'm nothing to her. Not even holding on anymore, just gave up on me, on us, what was…what should be and what could be. I'm surrounding myself with people who care and I'll care about myself eventually, my therapist, my friends, my coworkers, potential significant others. She did care until she fucking stopped.

Suddenly everyone wants to hang out with me, so many girls want to invest time in dating me. Did I shared the details with Dez, two girls are just waiting for my A-Okay to commit to a relationship. I'm just wasting my time, their time. It's just all about time. One of the girls is the most amazing well-rounded career oriented individuals. Probably, one of the more successful people I've dated. I guess that's not saying very much but she's with the police department, canine unit of Loveland. Yeah, a gentleman I guess of sorts. She's very polite and respectful. Everything a woman would want in a partner. She invites me over often, takes me out on dates, shows up for me consistently, she sent flowers the other day to my office, just because. She was thinking about me yeah I guess it was a little weird, I am not used to the gifts. She's monogamous, 2 years older than me, extremely active and hey guess what she'll swing a dick. *(Dezaray never had interest in strapping a piece on and fucking me. Odd. every butch girl wants that kind of control in bed.) 

Anyway...

The problem is her, Dez. And can't get her off of my mind and I hate it. She is just everywhere and the new girl even knows her name. I've even cried to her about Dez. She sat there, listened and held me. I feel guilty for that. I guess I'm not being fair to her. She told me she loved me the other day and I responded with,

 "thank you". 

A long pause and then,

 " that means a lot to me."
 
Another awkward moment. I'm just not in love with her. 

OOOOOOO she does have a name, Whitley. 

My heart refuses to let Dez go. How did she fall out of love with somebody? How come there isn't a self-help book for this? She should know, she did it so quickly and with great ease. Show me her ways.

I surrounded myself with nature this morning, went on a hike with the dogs, telling myself everything will be okay. 

I'm meeting people who are dealing with addiction lesbians and heartbreak, some of them dealing with some really crazy bullshit. I'm accepting myself a little bit more in that it's okay to cry some days. At least I'm not crying everyday anymore. I have forgiven her and hopefully I will start to grow, maybe I'll finally have enough self-control to stop answering her phone calls and text messages. But hey I don't lie so I might as well say it. 

I'm not okay, not now. Probably never. 

We are all fucking broken and if we can accept that brokenness we can learn to love everything about it right? 

She made my life better than it ever was. I've accepted I'll always love her and who we were together. Us. What I thought was perfect. 

Now, I don't need or want to be with her. I'm chasing that feeling of what we once were, not who we both are separated, today.  

Thank you Dez, for teaching me about love, about what a healthy relationship should be like and for making me realize what I do deserve, what I shouldn't settle for and well, that...

I am enough. 

And I am finding myself again. I can only hope she will do the same for herself. Because she is good enough.
