that's what he asked me tonight.
 
by the end of the conversation (through instant message) i was doubled over in tears.
 
frankly, i'm sick of my tears, i'm sure you are too.
**************************************************************************************************
he never knew the truth, i typed away as if i had nary a care of him in the world.
 
the ladybugs are something symbolic from the movie "under the tuscan sun"
 
that symbolism had carried over into our relationship.  ladybugs were our symbol.
 
have you found your ladybugs yet?
 
that's what he asked me tonight.
 
i shook my head sadly at the monitor as i wiped at my tears.  good thing i DON'T have a web cam.
 
he talked about our holiday, the one that we had made up for ourselves...fucker, i had forgotten.  i had truly forgotten.
 
he described to me what my face was doing in response to what he was saying. (without seeing me) and he was right. he remembers my expressions. dammit. he's not supposed to remember...or care.
 
he chose to leave my nuances behind.  WHY does he still remember? :(
 
deep down i know why. 
 
i know why.  he knows why.
 
and now, he will only ever hold the title of the guy that wasn't.
 
and i know why. and he knows why.
 
and it's all just a damn shame.

    oh hegs, i might just be blowing up your pm box, or i might just bleed right out here on this stupid blog.  :(  thanks for offering your shoulders/ears/hopefully tissues too.
  • woman said on May 19, 2009....
    Sorry sweetie. Perhaps it would be better not to be in contact, at least till it doesn't feel so raw. Big hugs here and a reminder that you deserve better.

    woman - thanks for the show of support, really means alot to me.  in the light of day today i don't feel as vulnerable. i agree with you about not being in contact until it's not quite so raw but <whispering now> it's been almost 10 months, it surprised me that it still feels so fresh
     
    msstar - thank you so very much for the hugs....it was nice to wake-up to hugs here this morning
     
    dd - thank you for the hugs, just knowing i have friends who listen and support me here helps a ton!
     
    grape - thank you for your nice thoughts...i love the words you have chosen to share!
     
    papergirl - so good to have your hugs..thank you

    {{{{{hugs}}}}}}}  Frags, please stop doing this to yourself.  He doesn't deserve to be able (even if unwittingly) to do this to you.  Unfortunately he is doing it knowing full well how it makes you feel and that is unforgiveable all of it's self.
     
    There is someone so special just waiting to be found by you.  Put aside the broken toy and go find the new shiny fun one.
  • secretlife said on May 20, 2009....
    awww...i'm sorry you had such an awful day yesterday.
    i agree w/woman on this fraggles---- sometimes despite our best efforts, we can't be "friends" when the relationship ends.
    hope today is better.

    no words... just a hug....

  • fragglesrock said on May 20, 2009....

    uni - you know you are exactly right. about doing this to myself.  it's just maddness.  and although i know you are right i still do it?! grrrr (at myself)  i almost spit my pop out over the "new shiny fun one" omg.  you are my hero. lol! thanks uni :)

    secret - thanks, it really WAS an awful day yesterday, but then today came and i'm smiling again :) and, yeah, the "friends" thing is obviously not going to work.  i just feel so small (?) immature (?) that it's because of me that a friendly relationship can't be had... thank you for stopping by :)

    qp - thanks for the hug. i bet you're a good hugger :)

    Oh frags - I wish I could give you a hug darling.

    At first I wanted to rant about what a callous twat he is being then I thought again and i read your post again.  I don't think he realised what an impact he still has on you and that's cos us women are such good bloody actresses.  I don't know how useful (or useless) this will be hun but maybe you should just lay it on the line.  Tell him how hard you still find it all and communicating with him is just hurting you all over again.  Swallow the pride that is often our downfall.  Tell him to stay away for a while as your emotions can't take much more of this darling.

    Sounds like Hege to you is like my MissMimi to me - how she puts up with me I don't know :)  Hang in there darling.

  • fragglesrock said on May 20, 2009....

    mixed - today i smile :) thanks for the shoulder....funny thing is, i only slap people around when i'm happy ;) 

    pc - thank you, hegs has a compassionate, logical, wise power to her that i don't think she's fully aware of, she's been there for me many a times :) i like what you say about laying it on the line...swallowing my pride...and you're right, it needs to be done..thanks pc.

  • pusscat said on May 20, 2009....
    Glad you're feeling a little better today hun.  What you say about Hege is so true!  I was amazed (I hope you won't be offended Hege cos i mean it with the utmost repsect) to realise the other day on a different post that Hege is 24 - did I read that right?  She has such a wise head on those shoulders and, like you say, I don't think she realises it at all bless her.

    Fuck 'em. He ain't worth it.
  • crybabylu said on May 20, 2009....
    sending hugs and good thoughts your way.....
  • auroralost said on May 20, 2009....
    Fraggles-  It is never easy when stuff like this happens.  It's being sad for yourself for the what could have been and is not.  It's perfectly ok to feel sad and cry......it's a reminder of the loss of a dream.  The dream that you had for what your relationship could be.  I'm so sorry things worked out differently for you.  I hope you find what you are looking for somewhere else down the road.   I wish I had the right words to say to make it easier for you but alas all I can say is that it sucks that you have to go through it.   Hang in there.
  • cntlvmenuf said on May 20, 2009....
    Girl...believe you me, this is one bridge that you really oughta burn. It is not immature to come to terms with the fact a friendship just won't do between the two of you, its costing you too much. Stay away from him until you sort your feelings for him out and until you know that the power he has over you has either diminished or is nonexistant. Give yourself all the time you need.....I think since you love so hard, with your all I bet, its not surprising that it would take you longer than you are comfortable with before rat bastard is no longer able to ruffle your feathers. 

    Ya....I love the movie...and I know that one day you'll find your ladybugs. Right now I think you need to rewind a little.....to the scene where the ladybugs were mentioned originally...where the lady told the main character she needs to take control of her life....she doesn't have to find the ladybugs....they'll find you frags!
  • GrapeKoolaid said on May 20, 2009....
    You'll know it one day.  It'll come to you in the most unceremonious way.  You'll think of him, and you'll smile in what can only be called bittersweet. 

    Perhaps you'll let out a small sigh, but that's about it.  You'll continue doing what it was that you were doing before (drunk blogging?). 

    Glad you're feeling better today! 
  • Lucytorial said on May 22, 2009....
    If you don't ditch this self masochism I'm gonna get my fucking cricket bat out and beat the living shit outta ya... or bit it outta ya... beat something... what? ohh yeh, your sick desire to shoot yourself in the foot.
     
    Look I can do that for you any time you want....
     
    Sooner or later me Fraggles charming is gonna stand right in front of you and say "Hey frags... wanna dance?"

Sick, Sick, Sick....
I feel so completely empty. I've been so depressed lately that I can't seem to remember when I became this way. What happened to me? I can't be happy anymore. I can't bring myself to do any of the things I used to like. All I want to do is sit around and...
and thats verrrry naughty of me....
What is the cure for a loss of appetite? Recently, I cannot seem to eat much food, nor do I have the desire to eat. I am not sure why exactly, but I have experienced this in the past and have no idea how I got back to eating....
Tears well up in my blue eyes tonight, though they will not fall.  My emotions are pulling, tugging at my heart.  I want something, someone to hold.  ...
