adam
once upon a time, in a land two oceans away, there happened a great romance. adam and i started dating shortly before he was due to transfer to norfolk. it was an easy relationship, one that required little effort, it just clicked. he moved away, and we planned for me to transfer to norfolk when i was due, a year later. i ended up deciding to tranfer to california for several reasons: 1. i will never, ever go to norfolk for duty. 2. his job would require him to be gone a lot. 3. i was going to sea duty and didn't want to be "that girl" who followed her boyfriend to a place that she didn't want to be, and put my goals on the back burner 4. where was the guarantee that it would work?
essentially, after i decided not to go, adam went on deployment and it crumbled from there. we planned to reunite in San Diego when we both transfered again (oct 2004), but i just don't know. i still write him e-mails, and once in a blue moon, he'll write me a one sentence cliche, but mostly my efforts go unrequited. i still love him, compare men to him, and hope for a fairytale ending. will it happen? who knows. do i regeret my decision. sometimes.
