8/25/05 - At least I can say that I have experienced love in my life

Nobody can take away the memories of the past 3 years, regardless how it ended. I'll always look fondly on Lucy, regardless how she thinks of me and even if she told me that she hated me and meant it, with fire in her eyes, I could never say the same back to her.

I used to say that love isn't love without reciprocation. You can't just pick who you love, it is more of a mutual thing. I still sort of abide by that, but now I realize that when you love someone, you can't just stop loving them, even if that feeling isn't given back. Once that feeling is there, it's always going to be there, in some way, shape, or form. After brutal arguments, silence between each other, not looking in each others eyes, anything--it doesn't matter, love is still there.

I'll always have a memory of Lucy as the sweet girl who I happened to have class with and crushed on early and hard. All those fond memories I listed will fill me with happiness and never be tainted.

I'm a better man than before for having met her and loved her and been with her for 3 full years of my life. My life would be significantly different if it weren't for her love, guidance, and influence.

Thank you Lucy B. for what you have done for me. Thank you for accepting me into your life for so long, thank you for being honest with me about everything. Thank you for changing my life. I wish you nothing but the best for the rest of your life. I'll always love you.
