When past revisits
May 6th 2008 08:06
I have a habit of being friends with my exs. That's just the way I am. I don't like it that relationships ruin a perfectly fine friendship and sometimes when it ends mutually, it's a shame that the friendship should end too.
Have been chatting to CB on Skype, the international student I was err... 'seeing', the year I got back from Germany. We have been in constant contact because when it ended it was a mutual goodbye. We knew we both have no future for each other, with him having to go back to Germany and that and I stuck here, there was no way the relationship would have worked. However, we were, really really good friends and really understand each other. So of course, we stayed in contact and we tell each other about our lives to keep up with the news.
2006 after my Peru trip, I took Will, whom had newly just became my boyfriend then on a trip to Germany, since we were both returning home through Europe on a round the world ticket. I managed to bring him to the town where CB lives and we met up. CB also brought along his new girlfriend. Will, of course, do not know of the history between CB and I, knows only that we are good friends. CB even let us stay in his flat while he went over to his girlfriend's to spend the night.
It was really nice to catch up, to know that he is well and I am guessing he felt the same. Then I got engaged, he was very happy for me and today, we managed to be online at the sametime, and we had a big chat about relationships.
When CB left, I wrote him a letter. I don't remember what I wrote in the letter, but he told me that he couldn't read it for a while, he's only just read it last year after seeing me in Germany again. Thankfully what I wrote were apparently very nice otherwise I wouldn't know what to say!
I've always still have a thing for CB. There is just something about him that attracts me. Of course, now that I have Will, and I love Will, this attraction is merely a past shadow that hovers around. I don't believe there is only one love for one person, so I believe this is quite normal.
Why do I then, also have a feeling that CB feels the same way? Are we just two right people who met at the wrong place at the wrong time?
Perhaps. But we both have our own partners now, and we both respect that.
I think we'll continue to be great friends together. Even if we both secretly have that little thing in us about the other, we both also know that we love our other halves dearly.
Just something I thought I'd share today. I am actually feeling quite good after that chat!
In Melbourne at the moment, and I am flying Will down from Coffs Harbour to spend the weekend with me. It'll be wonderful, and I simply can't wait.

I know what you mean with this one... it`s something to get your head around when you meet someone and everything seems to click, yet it appears that you can never be together.
It`s good that you are still friends though and that you don`t let the ending of a relationship spoil your friendship. Sometimes that can create all sorts of problems
Hope your weekend was a good one with Will
