And it's over.. for now (but definitely not not over)

They do say that all good things come to an end, and over the last 6-7 months I really learned that the hard way.

If you recall, Kathryn and I almost broke up last summer, but we were able to patch things up and start over. Not so this time... the breakup is going to stick.

Neither of us are saying "I never want to see you again" or "there's no chance we'll ever be together again." We're also not saying, however, "lets get back together in a month." As far as I'm concerned we've broken up and are both on the market again, but if we happen to find each other on the market, we can start over.

I'm not going to lie to myself and wait for her to come back to me. I'm going to start moving on with my life and keep in light contact with her as she does the same.

Since we weren't really close friends before we started dating, I will be able to say the following at some point in the future (but not today because I'm still depressed): "I now have a friend whom I was once in love with, and whom I will always love. Regardless of where we are and who we're with, she will have a special place in my heart as my first true love."
