I saw you for the first time yesterday in, I don’t know…years.
Maybe four or five.
I wanted to say hi.
But, I didn’t want it to be awkward or strained.
I always get too close too fast, bypassing the normal customs of boundaries and intimacy.
I come on too strong.
I don’t have a filter.
I overshare.
I have no concept of personal space.
I didn’t want to scare you away.
We left things before…too abruptly, I think.
I always throw my self head first into things, and I forget.
I mean, I forgot.
About you.
I am ashamed to say, I didn’t even realize when you left.
At first.
Then, it kinda dawned on me you were gone.
And, I missed you.
I think my husband missed you too, though he would never tell me.
I have three children now, you never got the chance to meet them.
I think they’ll be excited about you, you were always so much fun.
I know things won’t be the same as they were before.
Somethings you just can’t come back from, ya know.
Just ask my vagina.
And now, I meet your eyes in the mirror and say…
Welcome back.
Old friend.

Wow, you look great as a brunette! I forgot you ever were anything but blond. It really makes your eyes look different.
Now that is the kind of beauty that comes from peace and contentment inside a person…..good for you! I only look that peaceful after a few Captains and Coke….but I’m working on it!
Some days I’m there, but most I am not. Good for you!
Everyone else is talking about how gorgeous you are. Not me. I’m the girl whi is calling you a giant whore for having better hair than I do.
OMG…… I stumbled your posting about the flu shot/priest visit and lost my shit.
You separate your sentences like I do.
You are freaking hilarious.
And I have been in the situation you just wrote about. Sometimes the reunion works out. It did for my bf of 30 years and I after a 2 year hiatus.
very nice post and even nicer photo. you are so pretty!
You are annoyingly good looking, I do not know if I can read you anymore…except you’re funny so I will overlook it. Also how do you get your hair so awesome? You could be a Breck girl, do they still have those?
Love it!
i’m new to your site, so haven’t seen you previously, but that was a beautiful picture…
i only hope i can get back to my old self … and inspired by this, have started planning for it, sick of always saying ‘someday’… first stage will be complete in 2 weeks
I keep wanted to go back to her. She was pretty cool. I had no problems with her. And then she was gone and I forgot too. And this new girl, with the highlites, is so much trouble.
HoT and deep! (wow, that sounds very naughty!!!) and funny too!

This post gave me goose bumps. I hope to have a similar interaction with my former, pre-kid self someday soon. And when I do, I’ll hug her and then kick her when she’s down. Just to keep it real.
*clapping*
I’ve really been struggling with losing my old self lately. It’s so hard to find her when I don’t have five solid minutes each day to even hear myself think. Kudos to you…my time will come…
Welcome back to the club gorgeous! I love it, you look so beautiful. Brunettes DO have more fun!
OMG, look at you! You look GORGEOUS as a brunette!!! Oooh, your husband must be salivating after you now, you tasty, tasty morsel.
And I? Just sound a little weight because thanks to the jetlag I haven’t gotten any in a while. I blame Switzerland.
love this.
You look beautiful and I love this post…
Oh my! I just stumbled upon your blog and I LOVE IT! I spent hours reading your previous entries last night and you just crack me up. Gorgeous, funny, brave, inspiring and just totally awesome. I’m all out of words, but seriously, this blog is the shiit!
I was SO hoping this post was about the person it ended up being about. WOOWOO!!! Love it.
I’m very late commenting here – but had to say “Hello beautiful!”
Bow-chica-bow-wow!!!
Super sexy! Welcome back!
I love this post so much. It made me cry. (That’s a compliment.)
I’m pretty sure I’m in love with you. I mean that in a gay midget porn kind of way too – so you’re welcome.
