Person A or Person B?

Ever met the man you'd think would be the perfect life mate? That guy that seemed to you would be your husband, father of your children, and with whom you'd have a joint j.crew credit card account?

And everything seems to be going great until one day he just stops everything and tells you he can't continue seeing you because:
A) He doesn't know where this is going
B) Doesn't want a relationship (and you obviously do)
C) Wants to "focus on school/work"

Then he pops up on your facebook newsfeed one day that he's "in a relationship" with some girl who shortly you see "picniked" pictures of them together and now they're in love.

Then you start to question yourself ; What did you do wrong? Did you come off to strong at first? And then comes the opposite thoughts, "he's an asshole and that's that."

Truth is, you were Person A.

In life your love interests and you play either of two roles: Person A or Person B.

Person A is that one person you try to convince yourself you should be with but something is missing, so you let it go. Shortly after them comes Person B, the person you know you want to be with and fulfill your soul. Usually this time period is very short, and just as short is your memory of Person A after Person B starts consuming your every thought.

It sucks to be Person A but you served the purpose in that person's life and so did all the Persons A in your life. You were that last taste of freedom for the person you touched before they found their soul mate, and with each Person A role you assume the closer your Person B will be.

Sometimes you're Person A and sometimes you're Person B. And then come those special moments that you're the one to pick between the truth.

And franky my dear... hope that you're always the one that gets to pick.
