One Last Villian

Last night after watching an episode of "Futurama" it had me realize that I need to let go of the past. But it's much too hard for me to handle alone. Instead the best thing I can do is tell a story that doesn't have a happy ending.

Once upon a time six years ago was the beginning of a golden age in my life or as 'golden' as it was when the WCC (Winnipeg Convention Centre) had employees that also worked the Delta Hotel 'next door'. In a way I met the ultimate girl-next-door that was sculpted of spanish perfection in every way possible.

Never in my life did I there would be a girl that would be interested in me or for that matter felt so close to my heart. As co-workers she would always make the first move, show interest and grew closer to the point we would share a table whenever we ate. But I didn't know what to make of this.

Fast forward past towhen i had the courage to ask her out I remember her ears perked up with her smile. But Fate stepped in and it was much too late. She made herself busy with everything else in her life. When I found out that she was going to Spain for a year that was when everything changed.

Lord knows I've tried the long distance relationship bit. But someone that was also somewhat interested in me found a way into duping me to destroy all that I worked hard for. The only thing I have left to remind me of her as a friend is the movie we made together with another co-worker.

Whenever I walk into 'Sargent Sundae', an ice cream parlour on Portage Avenue and Overdale Street, I'm always reminded the last time I thought everything might be okay between a few good friends. It's the one and only fond memory I have left which I want to remember. Maybe someday I'll find the strength to move past all of this.

Six years later this wounded heart has yet to find someone to heal it. Looking back, I'm trying my best to make sure history doesn't repeat itself. All in all, she was my favorite mistake. Today I make this vow:

"Whomsoever opens their heart to me, I shall do the same."
