You Still Get To Me

It gets easier, but it never disappears.

You Still Get To Me
Nathan Walker

You still get to me.

I remember first meeting you and thinking I‘d never get you and when I finally did, it was everything I ever wanted, or so I thought. Eventually my world faded and you were the only thing that controlled me. I thought I was so in love, I was blinded by you as all my friends and family watched me push them away.

You still get to me.

I remember lying in bed for months not understanding why or how this happened when you left me. I thought I would never recover from this; I thought I had to get you back. My world seemed to be crashing down around me and I was alone because you convinced me that you were my world.

I pushed through though, and I built myself back up. I picked up all the pieces you broke, one by one, and made myself better. I was moving on, I was finally over you. I wake up and you are no longer the first thing on my mind. Years have passed and I am doing so much better than I would ever be doing if I were still with you. Yet, you still find a way.

You still get to me.

I find you in my thoughts at 3 am when I can’t sleep and my mind wonders off. When a new guy comes into my life I can’t help but compare him to you. When I hear your name, I can’t breathe for a second. I’ve worked hard to build myself back up and become this strong, yet you still find a way to get through the walls I’ve put up.

I was innocent at one point. I saw the good in it all. Love was a great thing, something that just couldn’t go wrong. It all seemed so easy, but you destroyed that image for me. You ruined a piece of me that I can’t fix. Love isn’t always perfect and you can fall for someone who will manipulate and destroy you. Someone who makes it their goal to tear you down, someone who will tell you everything you want to hear and then cheat on you. I'ts all a game and you have to play it right or you can lose yourself. God knows I did.

You still get to me.

I now lay here perfectly happy, years later, surrounded with brand new people and in a new place, yet you still have a way of creeping into my thoughts. I may have moved on and I may be much better than I was when I was falling apart, but damn did I make a mistake falling for you years ago. It seems that when I had to pick up all the pieces you broke, one was missing and it’s a piece I’ll never be able to erase of you because regardless of how bad you were for me;

You still get to me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
