Playing Catch Up

Let's just say that 19 months ago, my life changed dramatically. I was out of a long, committed relationship...I was going through my wild, rebellious stage and then BAM! What I thought would be the greatest friends with benefits pull off of the year, I found that it was so much more.

I met my rockstar briefly in October 2007 at a concert. It wasn't until November 2007 that we would come together. Once we did, we were unstoppable. That is, until the whole world got in the way.

I will summarize the relationship now...and as I remember specific times, I'll post those.

November was a month of crazy hook ups with each other. An hour here, a hotel there...whenever, wherever. Much later in the relationship we both agreed that it was the latter part of November when we realized our intentions had failed and we were in this for the long haul.

We spent a lot of time together...I traveled to as many shows as possible. New Year's Eve we spent in Hilton Head, Valentine's Day we missed...we seemed to have the perfect relationship. That is until we hit the 6 month mark. I went on a beach run with them (Hilton Head, Charleston, Savannah). It was a great time. Then the next weekend would start the down-spiraling of the relationship. The next weekend he had gigs in Savannah. I had a friend come into town and was unable to go. That Friday night was the first time he told me he loved me. It was also the first night he cheated.

We worked through that but the relationship would never survive. We spent another 9 months together, experiencing new things, living passionately and loving much. But in the end, it just wasn't enough.

My first true heartbreak came from my rockstar.
