I have been more or less told that I should move on from He Who Must Not Be Named. So that is what I’m going to do. Make it easy on him. I spent a few weeks debating with myself about how I felt about Him, and I had just come to a decision…at that point it turns out he had come to the polar opposite of that decision.
I thought that even though there were 100 reasons that we shouldn’t be together; the distance, the fact that he’ll be going travelling for months on end, or that he has the capacity to devastate me, I decided that he also can make me happier than anyone else I’ve even known. I thought I’d see what He thought. See if maybe we could start up something casual, unofficial, a little more than our warped friendship. But I got cut off before I could say a word. He warned me not to say anything that i might regret or that I might need a hug for. We then went into our completely analogous way of speaking and I found out that though he’d been going through a similar thought process but decided that he couldn’t cope with being hurt this much again.
So the best things that could come of this; the continued friendship, someone for hugs, someone to share good and bad news with, someone to laugh so much with and of course the great sex. The weekend we spent together was an example of that. Just easiness and happiness which I know He can’t deny.
In the end He believed the potential for hurt wasn’t worth the happiness that may not last while I had decided that the happiness for however long was worth the potential for hurt.
Which leaves me with no choice. I can’t hurt Him. I can’t ask that He risks being hurt because of me. So I shall be a saint. Steer clear from any conversations that would be construed as me trying it on. I don’t want to lose his friendship even if it’s not quite the form I wish it was. As for moving on. I’ll do that as and when I feel like it!
