Reflections: Living with the past

Dear family and friends, dear readers and writers, dear all,

I'm writing this article because sometimes you just feel that there is something inside you that needs to go out, that you need to let it out. Call it a summary of my life or a simple experience, it's just a resume of what I felt, what I feel and I will probably feel tomorrow.

It all started at school where I met the most beautiful, intelligent and lovely girl my eyes ever saw. She has beautiful green eyes and curly hair. I even call her GE "Green Eyes". It was Christmas so I wrote some words on a card and left it on her seat, it was That Christmas card that changed my life forever.


We dated for almost a year and a half, the most beautiful days we ever had. Our best moments were when we went to the beach and watch the sunset, hand in hand, feeling so secure.
But life has its strange ways, sometimes good and sometimes... Painful. She left to the states. We were young and dependent, having no experience in life and its ways, I messed up. Didn't know what to do, I lost the only person I have ever loved.
Days passed, years, I found her again on the internet but the distance was high, we decided to stay in touch but live our lives.
I got married trying to forget, trying to let go, I even got a child, but the feelings were still there. My marriage was so wrong and so painful that I put an end for it like a year a go. It was a very big mistake, but an important lesson for me.
And because life has its strange ways, GE and I met 4 days after my separation. At the beginning I thought it was a dream, but it was really her voice on the phone telling me that she is here for a vacation and wanted to see me. We went to the beach, the perfect place for us and sate down for hours talking and talking like we always used to do. We realized that the feelings were still there, love was here, we kissed and it was like a candle light in the dark. I told her: I LOVE YOU, She replied: I LOVE YOU TOO.
Now we are back together for more than a year, but she is still there, relocated to Canada as she has a Canadian green card, and I'm still here. Over this time, we passed almost all the bumps a couple can have, we went from returning together and loving each other like we used to do, to putting rings that we proudly wear, to let friends and family know about our relation. Now we even discuss our future wedding and reception. We share everything, and I mean everything. We talk on the phone for hours, google talk and messenger. We are
