Day 7 - Your Ex

To Jac:

"I was in love with you when we were younger you were mine. When I see you from time to time I still feel like. You can see it no matter how I try to hide. You will always be my boo." - Alicia Keys

Funny how a song can transport you to another time in your life. When Alicia Keys and Usher told each other that there would always be some level of love between them in the 2005 hit "My Boo", I decided that their lyrics applied to our relationship. From that moment on, you were always going to be my boo...whether I liked it or not.

That's proven to be very true.

Over the years, you've managed to pop in and out of my life like a toaster strudel at breakfast. Not to say that there is a romantic interest on my part, but you definitely have a very special place in my heart. Even after all the tears and disappointments, I'm still glad that you're a part of my life. No matter how much people may hold the past against you, I've always believed that you just needed to do a lot of maturing.

Anyway! On to more important matters...

I've never forgotten what you said one December night. You were trying to persuade me that we should be together (again) and I didn't think I was up to it. Then you said (and I quote), "I had a conversation with the Guy upstairs. He said we're gonna be together. Maybe not right now, but we will some day." At the time I thought you were being ridiculous...hey, I still kinda do.

But I do find myself asking God if there was any truth to that declaration. I mean, that would be pretty crazy, right? Right! Then I have people in my ear telling me that you just think of me as "the one that got away" (whatever that means!). However, who are they to tell me what God's plans are for me life? Heck, who am I to tell me what God's plans are for my life?? Don't get me wrong, we still have some issues to work on (i.e. communication), but that's something we need to cultivate on a friendship-type level...since we skipped that part. lol. Seriously though, I am so glad we're talking again!!

You've always been someone that I could talk to about anything. Whenever I was hurting, you tried your best to console me and, if possible, handle the situation. We've had our ups and downs, but we always manage to remain friends. You mean the world to me and I'm super proud of the progress you've made in life.

I love you now and forever...don't forget it either!
