A whole new level of weird
So I've experienced a lot of emotions in my life, and I can tell you---and perhaps you have been there before---that one of the weirdest ones is finding out an ex-girlfriend is now engaged. It's especially odd when your following relationships haven't panned out too much and you're still unattached.
Now, this girl and I haven't spoken on the phone since we broke up that way in July 2002. We occasionally chatted over AIM but aren't on terms really. I mean, I have nothing against her but I think she wasn't comfortable or interested in friendship post-breakup.
We were too different, perhaps, and there were warning signs I see more clearly now in hindsight. I liked her family, though, and I hope they're still doing fine. I guess it's just the nature of the breakup and what not I'm still not over. I'm over her per se. I won't lie and say there aren't times memories of being with her come to mind---she was my first serious girlfriend---but I think it's more thinking about how quickly life changes and moves.
Oh well, that said, to Mike and Michelle (not their real names), I wish you all the best for the future, and God's grace and blessing upon your union.

There is also a point in knowing it was real and that you two should have been together, however for unknown reasons-decides to break it off. But yeah, how do you really know the difference between it being "real" or not. Some people son't even want to face it and they hide away and continue on in their lives. But I guess, maybe it becomes real after a few loves have passed and you are already grown into a different person. People can be very strange too. I try not to get deeply emotional people for that reason. However, I am sure you are happy for the ex, and it's sad you guys can't grab a couple beers and talk once in a while. Some just don't have it in them to do it like that.
