Ex Just Wouldn't Be An X History

[Poetika]

I was fourteen and he was eighteen. We dated in high school. He dumped me after he realized I was too loyal to a guy friend of mine. I was crushed, but I ended up dating another guy the week after for fun. I don't understand why this moment is embedded into everyone's memory when its already been two years ago and the minor factor that we were only together for a month technically. I have dated other guys after, but still that moment is always remembered when people ask me about my current relationships.

Recently I had just joined a youth organization...much to my ultimate surprise there was the guy whom I have wanted the world to forget is a popular member. My heart almost ripped apart in shock. After the meeting suddenly everyone swarmed around me, trying to get me to reintroduce ourselves, even his younger sister has asked how do I feel about him! I mean c'mon people!

I feel nothing for him. Its been two years ago. I moved on with my life, but this moment is just stalking me around. I gathered my temper and decided to say hello, but then he gave me that look an ex gives to his dumped girlfriend. He's now sending mixed messages, but he has girlfriend whom he dated after me. Argh!

Please help out. Why is this happening? Why do everyone assume I'm still in love with him? Why does he still assume I care about him? Why do everyone still inquire about the past?

Just ignore them. If you show everyone you're truly not bothered, and you don't have any feelings for him, then surely they'll forget eventually?

I suppose many would assume that it was based on the sexual fundamentals, but it wasn't, which seems to surprise many. This is when I tell you that I've finally began understanding myself and my own accounts of emotions. I had seen my infamous ex last night along with many other friends of mine. I had wanted to see if I'd feel anything...prehaps spite or disgust when I came across him and his girlfriend, but NOTHING came out or bubbled inside of me!

Its so remarkable this emotion of nothingness...I genuinely smiled, even snorted as I finally realized there was nothing between me and him (from my perceptive). I was only feeling that emotion toward a vague memory, but not him directly. It was my way of holding onto the past that was still memorable before I spiraled to the pits of high school society hell.

I went on after that and laughed my head of with another sweetheart (Alex) whom I thought about all night who I had accidently and he as well bumped the ridicilous hell out of each others knees then blushed for the hours after and then presumed to chatting idly which was amazingly intresting to me...plus I remember his cologne which is certianly surprising for me due to the fact I care nothing about others whatsoever...ahh I'm so relieved (ex) and tormoiled (Alex) at the same time. Odd how life works.
