The Way To The Soul

How do you get over someone's soul? I beg of you!! Tell me!! (mexican drama...) I need to know how.

A few weeks ago a dear friend from Mexico and her boyfriend were visiting New York. I was able to see them the night before they left for a yoga camp somewhere in New Mexico (I think). After a few wine glasses the conversation steered to my favorite topic: My big old fat frigging break-up of course! Even after three months every time this topic comes up I cannot help but to cry a little, you know, get a little choked up and a shed a couple of tears (believe it or not I am making progress with the crying thing). I guess my blunt sincerity about my feelings and doings AND most importantly, the similarities between the relationships (you know, she's Mexican, I'm Mexican, he is American, my ex too...) made them feel comfortable enough to share their own problems in their relationship with me. It was enlightening to hear them talk. Somehow, even with their big differences, huge I should say, they have found common ground. And why have them found this common ground? Because she knows he is a good person, and he is in love with her soul. IN LOVE WITH HER SOUL! He actually said those exact words!! Damn yogis!! (not really)... my progress about crying back pedaled all the way back to freaking March when I used to cry because the FLY flied by!!
It's easy to like someone, but to actually like and love someone's soul... that belongs to a first division game level.

Now that all my anger is almost gone I've come to realize that I was in love with Mr. P's soul. I'm still in love with his soul. He was far from perfect and we had differences but nothing that we could not work out... that was what I thought anyway.
Realizing the above has been harsh. Let's face it. I'm in deep shit. Going out with me is no joke. I compare everything and everyone with Mr. P. I used to think I was picky but know I have a whole new repertoire of no nos, some learned with Mr. P:
-Not recycling (big no no).
-To not care about the waste that is produced (this one is looong and it has many subtopics).
-To not watch documentaries.
-Not being interested in human behavior (also subtopics).
-Not having consideration (also long, also subtopics).
-To not care for organic foods.
-To invite me to sushi days after watching "The cove" with me!!!! (still no sushi for me), etc, etc, etc.

Do I really got a chance?... Or someone?
