Loves, Likes & Dislikes

As I'm going through my morning reflecting on my past loves

I've come to the realization that not all my loves were actually true

I, as many people do, have compared and contrasted my past flings to the current ones.

I've had many crushes and many hopes and dreams as any girl would

But I'd like to take some space to go through the guys in my life and find the

loves, likes & dislikes

along came a Michael

to quote the darling Avril, he was a skater boy to say the least

I met him as he was completing community service, what a charmer

Everything was great! we dated for two weeks and I moved on to his best friend

Was it a love, like or dislike....I would say a like.

Next there was a Patrick

I liked to call him Patrick.Star

He came to church, he pleased my parents

An all around good guy, except I grew bored

He started to annoy me and got on my nerves

That was the end of that....a like that turned into a dislike

Now to the ever so lovely Jose

This was it, the one I had been striving for since freshman year

And come along Junior year, it was time

He was all mine....or so I thought

We were "together" but not really, no title, no way to distinguish what we were

Everyone knew we liked each other and we were it,

Never one without the other

Until one day, that oh so stressful day, he was on a date with another girl

My world came down, it crumbled all around me

But I still let myself believe he loved me, because he had said so just the day before

After high school, we went our separate ways, only to be met again by random texts

He said he still loved me

Had me falling for it once or twice

But not anymore, we've both moved on

He's married now with a child and I couldn't be happier for him

A love

Next, a Gregory

This relationship was dangerous from the start

But I let myself believe it would all work out

I had felt like he convinced me to like him

As bad as it sounds, I'm not sure if I ever meant anything

Dislike to a like

A Maxx came along

We had been friends for a long time and decided

"Heck! Why not?"

Well, by this time I had become sold out for God

And he as well knew God

However we were at two different stages in our walk

I couldn't pull him along any longer

This one was definitely a like

And now the ever so charming Andrew

This one got me

Got me good

Everything was perfect

We were going to get married

We were going to have children

It was all planned

It was all right

And then, one day, I got dumped

The first time I've ever been on the receiving end

Cut me deep

Down to the core

He moved on quite quickly, with a dear friend of mine

I think that's what got me the most

We were it, we were forever

Or so I thought

Like to a love to a not speaking, hoping we can be friends one day

Yeah we have loves, likes and dislikes

Just no one is afraid to admit it

I'm glad for the experiences I've had, I have no regrets

But now it's time to move on

And I have

And I'm very grateful for my life

My best year yet!
