I have been a fool.  I gambled and lost what was dear to me.

Where do I start?  

I guess with him.

He was just...it.  He was everything I wanted and I pushed him away.  

I told him that I didn't want a fairytale.  I didn't want forever.  Forever was for fools.  Let's live with what we have now.  We had fun.

Now I have nothing.

I treated him badly.  I kept him on the sidelines while I played the field.  I thought he would never find out.  It would be my little secret.  It could have worked out...if the person I was cheating on him with wasn't a friend of his.  

I didn't know it.  I didn't know until we went to a party and both of them were there.  I kept them apart for as long as I could but it was inevitable that they'd speak.  

Unfortunately I got sick and had to go home.  The love of my life stayed behind.  

I assume he found out the truth.  I haven't heard from him since.  He doesn't return my calls.  

I realized that I love him.  He's all that I want and I was an idiot.  I lost the one man who completley accepted me for me.  

I've left messages on his answering machine telling him how sorry I am.  It doesn't matter though.  He told me from the beginning if I cheated then that was it.  No second chances.  

So now I'm alone.  In love with a man who very likely hates me.  

What's a girl to do?  

I guess that's what happens when you get caught up in a fool's game.

Good Job.  Just one among many lessons that can only ever truly be learned by expiriencing it.  Only then can you realy perceive the emotional consenquences.  I enjoyed your work greatly, hope to see more.

good write... l like.
we all make mistakes, you know. if u luv him, and things work out, your relationship might be stronger than before. if they don't work out, and you never see him again, or whatever, you'll have the memories, and the understanding of what you did wrong...

btw, l'm not saying it's wrong. cause l honestly don't know.
