but I'm STILL SINGLE. It was nothing short of a movement. The movie Love Jones came out and EVERYBODY wanted to go to a poetry set and meet Darius and Nina. Unfortunately after all the credits rolled and the soundtrack stopped spinning, going after love didnt exactly end like the movie.
We had been in an intense long distance relationship for about two years. Our separation made our reunions seem surreal. I knew he was it. I had never worked this hard to be with someone so different. He was my world. I was his. No cell phone miscommuications. No texting mishaps. No face book updates. Ours was a love that made others believe. Then it all started to change. The strain of the long distance started to create frustrations. Finances were becoming limited. Life apart seemed to lose its romance. Then one day he missed my call. I knew it was ending. My life felt over. A few weeks later, our passionate affair was over.
One year later, I saw the movie Love Jones. I decided I needed to see him. I made a last minute plan, hopped a bus and called him. When I arrived, I prayed that he would answer. We would have our "love jones" moment. He did. He was excited to hear from me and immediately changed his schedule. We plan to meet me for dinner. My thoughts were racing, as I knew he would tell me the mistake he had made letting me go.
When I saw him, I thought "he looks so happy"? I didn't feel like the inspiration for his glow. I knew him well enough to know what he looked like en love. It wasn't with me. Our dinner brought closure to an unclear chapter in my singles diary. To this day, I still regard him as one of my greatest loves. I dont forget how my heart was broke. Life doesnt always imitate Art.
This is where it all begins.....I'm Single
THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN!
