April 30, 2005

We stood in the rain, arms around each other with my face pressed into his chest. The rain came down, drowning out my sobs. He tightened his grip, and I heard him faintly sniff.

"Just remember I love you...so much...it'll be okay...I'll call you tomorrow night when I get home..."

Adele stepped out of her car to let LibraryBoy put his bags in the back. She walked over and hugged me, telling me that when she was talking to him a couple days ago she's never seen him so upset, and that he's having a rough time leaving me. This brought on an onslaught of new tears, and she rubbed back. She said she'd let us have a moment alone, and sat back down in her car.

//I love you. I love you. Oh God, I love so much...//

We held each other in the rain for a few more minutes, until he pulled away, gave me a half hearted smile, and got in the car. I stood on the sidewalk, my heart shattering into in my chest, the pain reverberating throughout my entire body. LibraryBoy rolled down his window, and we kissed one last time. And that was it. Adele pulled away, honked the horn, and still sobbing I made it back to my room before really losing it. I threw myself onto the bed curling up into a fetal position, sobs wracking my body.

I just wish he was here to hold me and say that it's going to fine, but he isn't.

Oh, I'm sorry!

It was pretty bad, but I'm doing a lot better now. I didn't cry once yesterday, whoop whoop! He called me last night from his hotel room, and said that I inspire him and that leaving me made him realize how much he loves me, and how much he wants to get a job so we don't have to be so far apart.

I think it's easier to be at home without him, because he isn't a part of this environment, you know?

That makes total sense...about him not being part of the home environ and that making it easier. I'm happy for you that you've found such a sweety. :o)
