My Love Story: Heartbreaking But Funny

Just a quick significant flashback though, 'my manning up was actually in a letter, my asking her out was written on paper. I wrote the question and she spoke her answer. Maybe I wasn't a real man after all, but she didn't mind, and I didn't care too. So lets move on...

Our relationship lasted a while, say about one year, and it was sooth and loving. However, I subsequently got busy with other things other from class and boyfriend work. I had contested and won the position of the general Secretary of our faculty, and that doubles the workload on my desk in everyway, both academically, socially and probably emotionally. Nonetheless, I always tried to keep to our dates and outings, although I'd missed quite a few, she always understood.

Nevertheless, in the second month of our early second year in the relationship, something really funny happened - heartbreaking but funny. (That moment when one cries and laugh at the same time).

At was at night, say about 11:30pm, and she called me, 'where are you Charles', 'I'm at the offic...' 'You're what! Do you know what time it is, the day will soon be over and... Oh! You just don't have time for me anymore, I told you something sometime and now you've forgotten. You forgot the very first time you shouldn't... Oh this! O that!...

She was just ranting and shouting without exactly telling me what was wrong, and since she wouldn't let me talk, I just kept my peace and said nothing. After about 30mins of harangue, I asked her a simple question, 'what exactly is the problem?' At that point, there was about 30 secs of silence, then she ended the call, and a text came to my phone almost immediately with the word 'nothing', and that marked the end of everything. Me and Hannah had gone back to hi and hello for the past five years now, what a dream!

Thinking about it now I wonder, 'hope she's moved on, 'cos I definitely haven't. Was I the cause? What really happened?

Well, one might wonder why I haven't moved on already, 5 years is a long time. Maybe I have, but the memory just came as a rush now, 'cos today was our breakup day 5years ago, today was her birthday.

So I guess now, that we all know the reason for the shoutings and breakup, 'why didn't she just tell me that I had forgotten her birthday', 'how did I even forget..' Now I know my silence then was almost foolish, I should've remembered, 'for crying out loud it was her first birthday in our relationship and I forgot' what a bummer!

Anyhow, there went my love story and it's kinda funny now, 'cos when I asked her out, I wrote the question while she spoke the answer, but at our broke up, I spoke the question while she wrote the answer.
