Ouch. Super mega ouch. My heart is ripped in two and still quivering with tears. Yea so I guess it was too much to ask to think that I could be around Kurt and have things not be weird. I showed up at the campout and he suddenly disappeared into his tent... Everyone reassured me that it wasn't because of me but it was. It's my fault he's unhappy, I broke his heart and he can't get over it. He wrote me this really long note and gave it to me this morning before he left... ouch, I haven't stopped crying since I read it. Curse me for still loving him! Everyone keeps assuring me that I oughtn't feel responsible, that he's acting like a baby, that he needs to move on. But it's my fault... I gave him the chance to fall in love with me, and I betrayed him. I know he treated me pretty crappy and I told him from the beginning that it would never worked out. What does he expect from me? I'm only 17, and I was only 15 when I started dating him... I didn't understand these feelings then and now I wish I had never had to experience them. He is supposed to be the adult, the anchored one. I wish I knew how to fix it, how to make it better. I wish I could go back to the way it was, in the beginning, in the good times. I want my best friend back.
And I'm so terrified that I'll do the same to Josh. I really care about him. More and more every day. What happens if I smash him too? I couldn't take it! I couldn't live with myself if I broke his heart too. I don't want to hurt someone I love so much again. Last night, after I convinced myself to stop worrying about Kurt, was so wonderful. I got to sleep in Josh's arms, wake up in his arms, whisper to him all night, giggle at his cuteness, enjoy his caress. He is so wonderful. My mom really approves of him too which makes me ecstatic. They had an intelligent conversation about the war on the way home and she was very impressed. Josh makes me feel so great about myself. He can make me smile no matter what kind of mood I'm in. He's so bright, he shines like the sun. We walked off from the campfire last night and I stood and looked at the stars and then into his eyes. And in his clear blue eyes was reflected the same intense wonder that I feel from the stars. He has such deep eyes. I could look into them forever, just sink into them. I really just wanted to stay there with him forever, lost in his eyes under the stars.
I feel so much better now after thinking about Josh. I mean I know that Kurt isn't happy, but I can't change that. So why should I suffer too? Why should I beat myself up for something that was equally his fault. And why should I let it get in the way of me and Josh? I had so much with Kurt, he was my best friend and my first love. But I can have so much more with Josh and I shall.
