The love is still there... the timing isn't.

About 3 weeks ago my longterm boyfriend and I decided to split up. After spending the past 2 years planning our lives together in a place I assumed we'd both be happy living in, he made the decision to stay here, in an area I am unhappy living in, for at least the next 10-15 years to work on his career. Although I may also be able to expand my career here, the area makes me miserable a lot of the time and I've never really been happy living here. His decision hurt a lot because we are terrific together and have a wonderful relationship, but after a week or two, I started to realize that I can't stay here just to be with him if it means sacrificing my own happiness, and the decision seemed a little easier to take. We're still very much in love, and are the best of friends, and maybe some other day things will be different, but right now, we’re obviously at different places. I told him the other day that I’m still convinced we’re going to end up together again, because we always seem to enter each other’s lives through happenstance and end things only because our timing is off. He didn't say anything, but I know he agrees because it's happened so many times now. I know the pain is still very fresh for both of us, but I also like to think that there’s still hope for the two of us. I know the time isn’t now, but someday it may again be our time.
