I don't know exactly how to say this. When you first came into my life in March of 2010, I never thought this would be the result of our relationship, but I now I find myself sitting here alone in my apartment without you. I want to be angry, scream and shout about how you left me, but I know that wouldn't be fair.
It's not you, it's me.
I mean we had some fun times. Some really incredible time, actually. When that email came into my inbox asking for 3 reminder dates to send flowers and I'd have the chance for you to enter my life, I was skeptical. I already had so much junk mail in my life at that time, I was nervous to let you in. Against my nature, I let you in and you changed my life.
1,000,000 miles, when I think about that first summer together, I still get a huge smile on my face. You gave me two Around-the-World tickets from Delhi with stops in Seoul, Tokyo, Minnesota, New York, Athens and Istanbul. That would have been enough for anyone to be happy and fulfilled. But, you went the extra step. You also gave me a fourteen day car rental, two hotels in Athens, a hotel in Istanbul and an incredible hotel in a fairy castle cave in Cappadocia, Turkey! I felt like John Travolta in Grease; summer lovin' indeed!
That autumn you just kept on giving. A hotel room in Kuala Lumpur for a long weekend, a dodgy hotel room in Mumbai on the way home from our first safari in South Africa and two flights to BALI with a stopover in Bangkok!
Spring flowers blossomed, the birds started singing and we had two tickets booked to Krabi, Thailand. We had been together for almost a year. Maybe that's when I should have paid more attention to you, 1,000,000 miles. I had taken you for granted. You were slipping from my hands and I didn't even notice.
Now it's May, 14 months later and after a violent day of summer bookings (two Delhi-New York roundtrips, a sixteen day car rental and one last hotel room) and you're gone.
Thanks for everything, 1,000,000 miles. We had a great run, but it's over.
Wistfully,
jason
