Dear Breakup Girl, First off, excuse the bad English but I'm one of those French boys who dares venture into the maze of English rehab...'cause his friends are sick and tired of all his bull about his breakup...5 months ago. You see, after 14 months of relationship, one day after cleaning her van we were lying next to each other ( JUST lying, you know; cute thing ) and I asked her if she still loved me (I was feeling a bit insecure...6th sense or even a X-Men Mutant Power ) and she said: "I Don't Know." I was crushed; I got up; got ready for work; she grabbed me by the arm and asked me for a week alone...to think...I said "OK." Ohhhh....The mistake... Week later, she called me...she dumped me... Well for the first week, I was all; "OK, cool! Let's move on! The cat's back in the city!" But NO girl in this town can make me forget her; So I thought...let's get together! After all those stories of ex sex, or ex getting back together, I thought it would be cool...nope; after a night watching movies like the good ol' times, she said "No." I was crushed, depressed... 5 months without seeing, avoiding her at the college, I wrote a 7 pages long letter to express my feelings; she wrote back 2 pages:"I'm sad...but no regrets." '99: guess who calls me? Yup: lil' conversation, but still; the feeling of just being a "friend," "someone to JUST say hello to" was crawling in my brain but still; it's over man; get over it; I nearly wrote these words down on my clothes to remember them... Today, I saw her van in the neighborhood. "Who was she seeing? Girlfriend? Boyfriend? Was it really her van? Since she's in the 'hood, why didn't she come here?" That sick taste came back in my mouth in a blast! 5 months of bittersweet feelings came back...while I was thinking I could go on... Help me please! I feel like I should talk to her again; even ask her again to get back; what should I do? -- Pete Pan
It's normal, even after all this time, that the van sighting made you feel strange. It was the van you used to help clean (cute thing), in your neighborhood; of course it brought back some feelings. Now: what to do with them? How about this: refer back to her letter (as opposed to her van) as a source of closure. Anddo write those words on your clothes. Heck, start a post-breakup clothing line -- it'll be the next big thing from Paris. Call it The Cat's Back in the City. Love, < PREVIOUS LETTER || NEXT LETTER > |
