The End of an Era

Awesome is moving. He is going back to school and the acceptance was quick and now he is leaving at the end of the month. When he told me I was really happy for him, and I still am, but the more I think about it the more I realize what a big part of my daily life he is and I wonder how different my life is going to be without him around.

Today we had our last lunch together for a while. It is weird to think that I won’t have lunch with him every week and that he might not email every day twenty or thirty times. He is a strange force that Mr. Awesome, a total pig much of the time but inside there is a sweet shy man who I really like.

At the end of our lunch he walked me back to work just before we got to the doorway to my work he said he wait a second and he grabbed me and kissed me. And then walked into the office smiling like a Cheshire cat saying good afternoon to all my co-workers as though it was just another lunch.

Somehow, that interaction seems like just the right way for him and I to end our lunchtime ritual.

Aww. Farewell, Awesome.

Don't worry, a new era will begin, and the Awesome thing will just turn into a different kind of awesome.

It's true, in no time I am sure there will be a new boyfriend to fill in the stories I use to tell about Awesome.
