having done the married thing
when i was young and naive i
cannot judge but i can answer
when i thought of the third party
i blamed her for not being there
for him and i was - i was until
i wasn't and he was back with
her. it was never me. i was a short
stop in between. i still have a pic
of him and me sitting on a large
army vehicle. i am not proud of
it but i cannot destroy it either
one day when my daughter is older
and she encounters a man who is
already taken - i will pull out
the picture and tell her about him
and ask her - does she really want
to put her life on pause for that
is all we were - perhaps that is all we needed to be
