My first date since the death of Donny. Eight and a half months of motionless days, weeks even. But I finally knew it was time to move on with my life. You have
to forget the past, let the future come along the way, and live in the present, because it's a gift worth cherishing..
It was Abigail that made me do this. She found this guy she went to college with. His name is Brad Gopher. Such a preppy name, I thought.. But what is he actually like? Only one way to find out. Go on that date and live my life.
•••••••••••
He made reservations at this restaurant where me and Donny went on our first date.. I tried so hard to forget it but I couldn't do that to myself. All throughout the date I kept thinking of Donny. And loving Donny. There's that weird word again. Love.
At the end of the date before we left the restaurant he was just looking at me and could tell something was wrong. He asks me hoping to get an answer. I do answer because I'm not rude. This is what I say to him:
"Do you know what it's like to love someone? Like truly LOVE them? I think I do. But that's the thing about love. You never know what it is. Or if you have it. But I know. And I never want to forget that feeling I had when I first experienced love. It's not what your thinking. Love isn't sex. Love is the pureness between two people that fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. So tell me this. Do you feel the love here? Or is it just a waste of both of our time?"
I left after that... I stopped looking for love because I've already found mine. You only get love once and it can easily be taken away from you. So cherish it while you have the chance.
THE END
