I smiled and said under my breath “Life.”

My one tweet on November 27, 2010 (around 11:58 AM) went something along the lines of “And, here we go...” as I caught a glimpse of her in her wedding dress...

I can’t stop thinking about her.

It’s been a little over a year since I’ve last seen her in person. But not a day goes by that I don’t think of her.

Lovingly complex, I suppose.

But, we weren’t a regular couple. We were something else. Different. Complex. We worked together because of how different we were from each other.

She never gave this relationship a second chance. People usually do get a second chance at correcting themselves. Regular couples do.

Maybe I didn’t try harder? Maybe I changed too much?

Things weren’t getting better.

Even as she left, she left confused. Full of regrets. I saw it. I was confused. Angry. Frustrated with the entire situation as precious life days kept ticking away and I saw no solution.

But, as the days went by, I believe that she did see it. And what made her do what she did was a reaction to her knowing she did nothing to change on her part. She was afraid. Afraid she had nothing to offer back.

I am under the belief that I never got a chance to show that young lady how I have improved my life, and overall being through the time we were apart.

The pieces did fall into place. Then, came undone a few years later.

He said “Son, these are things you learn as you go through marriage. The pieces will all fall in place and balance out your worries.”

As we shared our first alcoholic drink together (ever!), I looked at him and told him that I was scared. And that I wasn’t sure what I was doing. I wasn’t sure I had a vision of myself for the future.

He also reminded me that no matter what he and my mom would always be there in case I needed any guidance along the way as “life could get difficult at times.”

Seven years ago today, I spoke to my dad about life and if it gets difficult as the years go by. He said “Yes.” And that “I would know exactly what to do as the days went by.”

This would have been amazing just a graphics update and expanded the universe we already paid for. Wasted Opportunity for innovation and content.
