When I finally saw Gatsby again, I was befuddled. I hadn't seen him in years and I had simply moved on with my life. But when I saw him, I forgot about everything that had happened since he left for war. I automatically started thinking of the times that we were together and when we fell in love with one another. Our love story was like any other, but we saw it differently. We thought that we were unique and that our connection was deep. Once he left, I didn't know what to do with my life. Meeting Tom was the right thing for me because it got my mind off of Gatsby and onto my next step in life. Gatsby's return into my life made my head spin though. I didn't know what to do and I knew I still loved him. We just had drifted apart due to his departure. We both knew that we were still in love. When we saw each other, I was thinking about all of our history and how things had changed so much. Since he had left, my life was completely different and new. His life was probably this way, also, since we hadn't seen each other in so long. At least, I hope his life was different. I couldn't stand to wait so long thinking about a past lover. We may have been more than just a past lover to one another, but that is the way that Tom and other people viewed us. They all thought we were over and done with. Once we were together again, Gatsby and I were thinking differently, though. I was thinking about how I still had feelings for him even though I am a married woman with a child of my own. Why did I still think I loved this man? It was because I was still in love with him. I wasn't just feeling it now. I was thinking about it again. I was thinking about him and my love for him.
