Ex-love: The haunting nature of past relationships

with me of each of the men that I have loved in the past. Unfortunately none of my ex-loves was the right man for me and one by one they just shuffled into becoming a part of my past. They became my ex-loves.

The man that I lay with now may not satisfy every aspect of my life as my ideal lover might have been able to, but there is a patience in this man that I now love, a gentleness and courtesy deep inside of him that makes me want to know him further. I just hope that he is the man that will manage to end my search for love; I hope that he will be enough to be all that I will need for the remainder of my life, and I pray that he is my final love.

Although the others may creep across my mind every now and then, and I will remember certain parts of our relationships with fondness, I have no desire to nor will I search elsewhere for the aspects of those loves. That is the past and an imperfect past at that.

So when my guy steps on my toes while we dance, or he looks at me as though he doesn't have a clue what I am talking about, I'll just smile. And as time passes, those are the special little details about him that I will learn to look at with fondness, his special attributes.

I will grow to love the many aspects of this man that make him uniqueand I will be thankful that he is mine. Hopefully forever this time!
