I’ve been thinking about the "other" her lately. I
heard through the mutual friend who hooked us up in the first place that she is getting hitched in
December. I remember while we were doing the long-distance thing years back, I
described our relationship to my then shrink, Heather. She said, “she sounds
like your magnet.” As much as we did attract one another, there was also a
repellent quality to our bond, or lack thereof.
I miss her sometimes, but the most loving thing I
ever did to her was let her go. Although our relationship was the definition of
rollercoaster with the dizzying highs and scary lows, I will always love and
respect her for trying and loving me the way she did. The Llloyd Banks song, “I
Don’t Deserve You,” would be in heavy rotation on days when thoughts of letting her go prevailed.
Instead of continuing to pursue the original her or go after the "other" her, I decided to go straight between the two paths as Frost admonished, and that has been making a lot difference.
