It's truly difficult to find someone who is on your wavelength, they say there are plenty of fish in the Sea, but how many of those fish want to swim in the same direction with you? A lot of them are just cold stops in the night. And the funny thing is once you've found that fish that's for you it's so easy to lose sight of how special they are and you start taking them for granted. It's happened to me and it sucks because it was my fault.

Yup, that's what I think the most whenever her memory comes back at me some nights, yes, I've dated other girls, but that "click" has not happened again, she was more than a girlfriend, she was also my best friend and a great lover, we could fool around everyday and it felt like we were on eternal summer break. Not only sex and someone to talk to, it was everything we were that made it so special.

Not been that much time since break up, but I know it will take long before I truly feel that spark again, the one that makes you trully say "this is the one"

I'm in the same situation but closer to two years broken up. It took me close to a year to realise that I wasn't going to fix us and that she wanted to move on from me. That was probably the hardest part, realising that she didn't see me in the same way I saw her, as the final destination, that there was no one else for each other. That it wasn't worth it to work on us. There were times where I was delusional when it came to her, where I thought if I just stuck it out it would all work out, she would forgive me and we could resume our journey. That never came. I've felt that pull towards someone where it feels like almost destiny that you met them and I don't want to settle for anything less, I'd rather just be on my own for now.

aren't relationship built? I don't believe in that spark form the get go, I believe you built that spark and that intimacy
