After reading over my observations from Sunday night, I was inspired to go back and find this quote from Laurell K. Hamilton's "Incubus Dreams", pages 136-137 (I love her writing because it is so insightful, and applicable to everyday events):
"You fight so hard, so long, to cut someone out of your heart, but its not always your heart that betrays you... I hadn't realized until moments ago that somewhere in the depths of my soul, I'd held out hope. Hope that Richard and I would work out, somehow. I thought I'd moved on - stupid. I hadn't moved on, I'd just hidden it away. I couldn't give myself completely to anyone, because I was still in love with Richard. How f*cking stupid was that?"
Replace all the "Richard"s with "Jay"s, and you've just encapsulated my current frustrated ponderings.
