The notebook

[Nohappyending]

Hello everybody,

A couple of years ago, I was in a relationship with a girl who I loved more than anything in the world. It was a beautiful experience and I have never loved anything or anyone since.

Recently my sister brought 'The notebook' home. Jane and I used to watch this film a lot and could relate to much of it so for old times sake I decided to watch it. Not.. smart..

I drew a parallel between the film and what I see around me.

The relationship that Noah and Allie had was beautiful - they were madly in love, and when they made love it was beautiful like it was once meant to be. When they broke up it was very uncertain and confusing for the both of them.

In my relationship with Jane, this was all the same. Unfortunately the rest of the film is also very similar. When they broke up;

Noah started losing it and was heart-broken
I started losing it and was heart-broken

Allie found a new man - a soldier
Jane found a new man - a soldier

Noah found a pretty blonde to make himself feel better
I found a pretty blonde to make myself feel better

Noah started improving himself in the hope of winning Allie back by building a house, and doing all that which he had once promised.

I started improving myself - I got very involved in politics and got involved in very good social circles (as Jane would have wanted) - I sat for my exams and received straight A/B's (mostly because of the fact that all I did was cry and study) - I got into university and am currently reading for a Law Degree.

NOW

Jane is no longer with the soldier
I am no longer with the blonde

I am sick and tired, of looking around and seeing nothing but sadness and seperation. In my studies I have had to read about, and sometimes witness in court some horrible seperations. The world is in an aweful state. My entire family is seperated, I remember being a family, and having get togethers, and now theres nothing.

I want to give true love one a shot. I want to believe in love. In true love, like in the movies - this is my movie parallel. Jane and I were hopelessly in love. I want to get it back but I don't have high hopes. She may not feel the same way. I am POSITIVE that I can give this girl the happiness any girl would want. In the future I will build a nice house as Noah did. I know we can be happy together - does she?

In the film, they get back together...

How does my story end?

P.S. It is true, that over the years I have hardened up. I no longer believe that true love exists - so this is my one last shot at it. I have written a poem which I'd like to give her.

Some advice as to whether and how to proceed would be wonderful.

Never have I, nor will I ever, write such
a letter again in my life.

What's left of my heart is in this letter

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Words can't explain
How much ive missed you

As the days rolled by
Alone in my bed
I sat there and watched you,
Dance through my head

I couldn't help think
About that girl that I knew
and smiled at the though
of starting anew

But the smile quickly vanished
Oh, the pain of regret
Thinking for hours
About the day that we met

Don't get me wrong
I dont wish to preach
I know that you know
That you're always my peach

But its not always easy
To try to forget
So i thought i'd try tell you
through this little sestet

lol, your 'sestet' isn't even really a sestet.

Yes I knew there'd be one of you. I know its not, but it rhymes. Poetic Licence - Kiss my ass

I would get rid of the fist verse of the poem

You know, you're quite the poet. I can actually hear the violins in the background
