Nothing. Just a good hearted videogame nerd. Back in 1992, I fell in love with a girl named Penny. I spent every waking moment dreaming of her, and what life with her would be. I pined for her for at least a year before I told her how I felt. To my suprise, she told me that she loved me too! I live in a small town. There was no future here. I enlisted in the Air-Force so that I could start the foundation for "our" lives. I shipped off on April 6, 1995. Penny didn't see me off when I left. Basic training was tough. I was so naive, and STILL a virgin. Penny never wrote me, but everytime a challenge presented itself, I used her as my inspiration to get me through. Eventually, I got injured. Broke both bones in my left leg--tore right through the skin. I got a medical separation from the military after about 1 year of service. I was still loyal to this girl whom I never saw, and rarely heard from. When I got home, Penny was pregnant. I was still a virgin. Why did she keep telling me she loved me? What had I done wrong? I was loyal. I wrote her often. I gave her money. I loved her? I was a fool. I tried to commit suicide. I wasn't very good at it. It took me another couple years before I could trust a girl again. I finally found a girl I thought I could love when I was 21. It was 1998....but the damage is done. We've been together for almost a decade. So many people wish they could have the life we live. But they don't know the half. I'm a whore. I have a good girl who trusts me, and believes that I am good. In a lot of ways, I am. Still, everytime I get the opportunity, I am cheating on her. Black girls. White girls. As young as 18. As old as 40. I make them love me. Part of me thinks I love them. I sell them (and myself) a dream, and then I break their hearts. What girl doesn't want a handsome, athletic, take charge, police officer like me? I read people for a living. I become whatever they want. Then I leave them before they leave me. And there are days when I park my car someplace very quiet, and cry, and cry. I've hurt a lot of good girls because I let one girl hurt me back when I was too young to know what love was. Now, my soul is so black. So, who wants to play Super Mario Galaxy? *and as for Penny, she gave birth to a mentally handicapped little boy. The guy she screwed was heavy into drugs, I later learned. Hell, I arrested him. She now has 4 children by 3 different men. She's tried to get back with me since then. I can't even stand to look at her. How did I let someone like that have so much power over me? |
I don't know what to say to, but that you've become the very thing that hurt you and ruined your life. Are you happy ?
You're doing what she had done to you but to a lot of others. Are you fulfilled ?
Someone who loves you, trusts you, and is giving you everything that you wish you had before Penny ruined you. Are you appreciative ?
You truly are selfish...
Penny had got whats coming to her, the children shouldn't be the ones suffering though. Don't go back to Penny.. teach her that she fucked up.. because she did. You let her have so much power over you because she was your first love (maybe.. right?). First loves are always hard to get over.
The girl who committed suicide on myspace because of the break up. I wonder how many deaths will it take for people to realize ?
Understanding is the key.
