first love.

i think you can fall in love by yourself.

i did.

once upon a time i loved a boy. a man.

and much as i'm loath to admit it, a part of me will always love him.

but yesterday as i was sitting on a toilet, halfway across the world, with my pants pooled around my ankles and i looked up to see a film advert with his name on it, two thoughts crossed my mind:

1. if only i'd never met him

and

2. the world is much, much too small

I fell in love by myself- or rather I, fresh out of an all-girls school and totally innocent, fell for a playboy. But either way, I don't still love him- and yet, for me too, it is too small a world (and I wish I had never wasted my time). Eesh. I know how you feel!

Micaela said...

no way Meg!!! that's craziness.

much, much too small.

"if only i never met him"...

i often wonder if i'd be happier?

Aline said...

I wonder the same thing, but I probably would be a different person if it weren't for him and I wouldn't have met the love of my life, so it is okay...

The toilet probably isn't the best place to be for something like that .....

dramaspice said...

If I could only tell you how many times I think those exact same thoughts.. It's comforting to know I'm not alone in this small world that sometimes seems to big to handle.. I love your blog :)

and obviously, i'm talking about you here.
