I called her Barbie

We met through mutual friends. She was married to a guy that worked out of town...a lot. She was flat out gorgeous. 5’1” tall, 117 pounds, blonde hair and green eyes. Beautiful. Way waay out of my league. We clicked almost immediately. We spent a solid year entangled in each others arms as much as possible. The chemistry was mind blowing for me..for both of us i thought.

13 years ago next week, poof she was gone. Another guy came along and swept her away with promises of new homes and financial security. She left her husband and me for the new guy. She wouldn’t answer calls or texts. Just gone. I bumped into her once at a gas station about 4 years later. We chatted for a few minutes, i left and bawled my eyes out driving down the road. We exchanged a few emails about 3 years ago and she disappeared again. Haven’t seen or heard from her since. She’s still married to the same guy. From what i hear through mutual friends, he keeps her pretty much locked down.

The complete heartbreak lasted about 7 years. The thoughts of her cross my mind multiple times a day still yet.

I’ve tried to find new partners over the years but i was just never able to replace that chemistry i felt with her. She was like a drug to me. It’s probably been 3 or 4 years since I’ve even tried. It seems as though that was one of the once in a lifetime experiences.

Would i do it all over again knowing it would end exactly like it did and I would spend the next 7 years trapped in a hell in mu own heart and mind??? You bet your ass i would.
