A Giant Leap

A lot of were defined for her this weekend. She was faced with seeing her ex again. She's seen him around, but not in a social setting. It was not at all how she thought it might be, and she couldn't have been happier about it.

She talked to him, was nice to him, but something was gone. The spark that she always felt when she was around him in the past, it wasn't there. He didn't even look attractive to her anymore. In fact, he seemed sorta sad, she felt sorry for him. Granted she knew he wasn't sad because of her, but she knew why. And even though she wanted to think that he finally had someone treat him like he had treated her, he just looked so unlike his old self, that all she could do was pity him.

She was faced with the decision to go home alone to her sweet Louie V, or home with him. And even though she did miss that part of their relationship, she just wasn't interested. All she could think about was her Mississippi Boy, and how she would be with him the next weekend. She didn't want to do anything to jeopardize the happiness she had found with him, and she knew that her ex was no longer worthy of that part of her.

So she went home and called her Mississippi Boy. She snuggled up with her dog, and she smiled right before she went to sleep. She had been taking baby steps for a while now, and tonight she took a giant leap out of her past and into her future.
