Buddy, appreciate every minute. Life has a nasty way of throwing curve balls at you when you're least ready for it.
Girl & I were together for 5 1/2 years. Proposed this Valentines day. Things were as good as they could be for a relationship that had lasted so long. There was no question in my mind that she was the person I wanted to be with, and throughout the ups & downs we never gave up on each other. I truly loved that girl.
Two months after proposing, she left me. I took some responsibility for the breakup, but mostly it was about her suddenly getting an urge to want to date other people. Things got really ugly, friendship was not possible. Haven't heard from her since.
Be ready for anything. 'Tis better to have loved & lost than never to have loved at all.
