I’m curious about something

BigSpoon92

Ask away

ASingleRose26

Your wife. You loved her. Thought she was the one, right?

BigSpoon92

yes

ASingleRose26

so how do you move on from something like that? Is it possible to completely let go?

BigSpoon92

I’ve thought about this a lot.

It’s so different from a breakup. Neither of us wanted out. And I think, because of that, I can’t say I’ll forget her. But I can recognize that she’s part of my past. And my future depends on giving my whole heart to someone new. I can’t hold part of myself back. And I don’t want to.

ASingleRose26

You say everything so eloquently

BigSpoon92

like I said, I’ve thought about this a lot, ha

ASingleRose26

I’m not sure I could do it…move on

BigSpoon92

I wouldn’t have thought I could either. But time changes things. It heals

ASingleRose26

Are you fully healed?

There’s a pause before he responds, and I take the time to gather my things and make my way down to my car. When I reach it, there’s a response.

BigSpoon92

I think I’m as healed as I can be while still single. I think I need to fall in love again to fully get there. Maybe that’s wrong, but I’m not cut out to go through life alone. I think I need someone else in my life to know it’s all going to be ok.

I sit down in the driver’s seat and smile. He’s not afraid to be vulnerable at all, and it issorefreshing. Talking with him feels warm, and almost familiar in a way I can’t describe.

ASingleRose26

This is weird, but I feel like I’ve known you for a long time already. Have we really only been talking for a week?
