Break up

Written by Jay Jackson on Wed May 01 2024

Man, I can't believe it. Jane Lily and I broke up today. It hit me like a ton of bricks, you know? One minute we were all cuddled up on the couch watching some rom-com movie, and the next she's telling me that she thinks we should see other people. Like, what the heck?

I thought everything was going great between us. Sure, we had our arguments here and there, but who doesn't? That's just part of being in a relationship. But apparently for Jane Lily, it was more than just a little argument.

I tried to talk her out of it - told her how much I loved her and how much she meant to me. But she wouldn't budge. She said that things weren't working out between us anymore and that maybe it would be best if we went our separate ways.

I felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces right then and there. How could someone so perfect for me suddenly decide that they didn't want to be with me anymore? It didn't make any sense.

But as much as it hurts right now, I know deep down that maybe this is for the best. Maybe Jane Lily wasn’t really "the one" for me after all - even though I thought she was.

So here I am now, trying to wrap my head around this whole breakup thing while drowning my sorrows in some ice cream (and no shame in admitting that). Everything reminds me of her - from the songs on the radio to random strangers walking by wearing similar perfume scents as hers.

I miss those moments when we used to laugh together until tears rolled down our cheeks or when she would surprise me with my favorite snacks after a long day at work… Those memories are still fresh in my mind even though they feel like they belong to another lifetime now.

But life goes on... Even without Jane Lily by my side anymore. And who knows? Maybe someday soon someone else will come along who makes all these heartaches worth enduring – someone better suited for Jay Jackson than ever before.
