How I Said Goodbye To Mr. Switzerland

Chapter Three.

Saying Goodbye to Mr. Switzerland

Saying Good bye is always the hardest. Especially when it's someone you love. Saying goodbye to someone you will see again... hurts, but saying goodbye to someone you'll never see again... destroys you.

This is the story of how I had to say Goodbye to Mr. Switzerland.


Verse 1
It was Friday night and after talking and spending time with him that week, I decided to go out to Aura night club. It was the best place to go to dress up really nice and have some fun. I told Dario to join me there that night and he said he would...

I arrived shortly after 11pm and in there was crazy packed! There was so many people and the DJ that night was DJ Nyuszi and he had in there lit!

I then made my way over to the bar to buy a drink and while I waited, I texted Dario to see if he was here.

But no reply. 

A guy at the bar then approached me and he was very charming but I was not interested.

Random Guy- You look really beautiful tonight. Are you here alone?

Precious- No, I'm actually waiting on someone. thanks.

Random Guy- Ok, cool, cool but they shouldn't keep a beautiful lady like you waiting.

Precious- I'll remember to tell them that. *As I faked a smile and he walked away*

An hour went by and I purchased myself another drink. Or two...

It was then 12:30am and still no text or calls from him. I then went back on the dance floor where I was approached again by that random guy.

Random guy- Hey, you sure your friend is still coming? *As he was dancing next to me*

Precious- Ugh, yeah. Just running late...

Random Guy- Hmm two hours late huh? Well I'll tell you this, if I were him I would never leave a beautiful lady like you in a club waiting on me.

Precious- Well, I was coming here whether or not they did.  It was just an open invite. 

Random Guy- Fair. I'll tell you what, if he doesn't come by 1am come over to our booth and join us. No need to spend money on drinks, I'll have you straight.

Precious- Ok. *As I faked another smile*

Time went by and it was nearly 1 in the morning and still no text. I then begun to panic. Question did he stood me up? Was he just a jerk this whole time and pretending? 

Please don't be a fuck boy, please dont be a fuck boy! 

Is what I said repeatedly in my head as  I double texted him. Then sent question marks.

1:01am. Looking at the last text he sent when I said I'll be in aura tonight You should come and he responded I'd love to see you... Wondering if he forgot or maybe got caught up. Either way it was already 1am and he was not coming.
 And I was not about to go over to that guys booth with all those people there looking sad, as I was, for getting stood up.





















So I did the next sane thing. I left.






I walked out of the club and into the Casino with a million things running through my mind. Questioning everything! Was it all in my head??



















My phone then rang and it was a message from him.




I was SO happy yet SO angry at the same time so I took a moment then I read it. He had said sorry I'm just getting these my brother and I was in the casino playing black jack all night we're actually still here. 

I then looked at my phone like....



He stood me up for Black jack? Not trying to look like a crazy obsessive person I then responded... I thought we were meeting at aura...? He then texted me back and said "We were? I'm sure I said after?" 

I then scrolled back up once more to read the message that he said and ladies and gentlemen it did say I'd love to see you "aftr".

SHOOKETH 



Feeling like the biggest idiot I said.... Right...

He then texted back, Are you here now? Meet me I'm in the casino.

It was nearly 2 in the morning and the casino was crowded. So I texted back to meet me at the moon bar which was located in the casino but completely empty.

I then checked my self in my mirror to make sure my make up was still nice and that I looked ok.



After that I walked over to the moon bar and there was so sign of him.

I then texted him "Where are you?" He texted back "I'm here" I then looked up to the far corner of the bar with the view of the entire casino and there he was. I then texted him " I see you" As I looked at him and he looked up at me, "I see you too." He texted.

I then walked over to him and he looked so amazing! He was dressed so nicely and he had this smile on his face that would brighten a dark room. He then got up and he hugged me. 




I didn't want to let go. He smelt so nice, He felt so nice... It was just so nice. As we released from the hugged and stared at me with this smile on his face. 

Dario- You look beautiful.

Precious- Thank you and you look great yourself.

Dario- Sit, sit. Let me buy you a drink. *As he allowed me to sit first then he sat after*

Precious- I'm good with just a water. I had enough to drink up there.

Dario- Were you waiting on me to come up there?

Precious- No, no... *As I started to lie* Sigh, I mean yeah... I honestly thought you were coming to join I waited for hours.

Dario- I am so sorry. I didn't have my phone, my brother did and we were at the black jack table playing all night. *As he pointed at his twin brother and he looked up at us and we both smiled and waved at him* 

Dario- And after winning our last round we walked over to the counter to cash in and I asked him for my phone because I knew I had to meet you and then I noticed that you had messaged me.

Precious- Well this is awkward.

Dario- No I'm sorry. It was miscommunication on my end.

And there it was, him taking responsibility for something I did or didn't do... I didn't read his message properly... but he apologized for it. Sooooo sweet!

Precious- Don't worry about it. I still got to see you so that's all that matters now.

Dario- How was it up there?

Precious- It was ok, you would have liked it.

Dario- Na, our first night we went there I didn't like the music. Not my style. I'm really not a club kind of guy.

Precious- Hmmm, well that would have been good to know earlier because maybe we could have done something else.

Dario- You know what I have an even better idea. Did you drive?

Precious- Yeah, my car is parked at valet.


Dario- Let's go.


We then left to go closer to where he was staying at Ocean Club at a beach called "Cabbage beach". We took off our shoes and went for a walk on the beach. 




Dario- Now this is my style. This is what I'll miss most about this place. You have it so good being able to live here.

Precious- *As I smiled and looked at him* Yeah. It is really beautiful.

Dario- Sometimes I wish I could drop what I'm doing and just move here. Only if it were that simple.

I didn't know what to say. I wanted to tell him yes, please, drop what you're doing and stay here, with me! But instead I said nothing. He must have sensed that I was a little sad and bummed that he was leaving tomorrow.

Dario- Well tell me what are you going to do when I've left? Are you going to continue dating on tinder? Are you going to take the new job? What's your plan?

Precious- Well I'm definitely taking the new job and as for tinder... I'm not going to use the app any more.

Dario- Why not?

Precious- Because if I'm being completely honest. I.. wish you would stay. I don't want to meet someone else. I can't even think of dating when all I think about is you...

Should I have said that? Maybe not. But I did anyway. Hoping he'd say yes! I'll stay but instead he said...

Dario- I can't stay.

Precious- I know.

Dario- I really wish I could. I love it here and I'd love nothing more than to be with you. And even though these moments I've spent with you had been the best, realistically this was just a fantasy we both were living. 

Precious- Yeah.. You're probably right.



Dario- And I could never ask you to leave your friends and your family here and move to Switzerland with me. That would be way too selfish and unrealistic.

Precious- And I can't do that to you either.

Dario- Hey? Look at me.

Dario- Let's just enjoy each other now. Let's enjoy this moment. As the moon is completely full and the waves wash upon the shore and as our feet leaves a trail on the sand. As I hold your hands and kiss your lips.

Dario- Let's enjoy this very moment because it maybe our last and honestly, I want to make it count.


At that very moment I felt a sort of comfort to my inevitable heart break. I felt like he was right and that we should make the best out of this moment together; our last moment together.

Precious- Then lets make it count! 

We then begun to play on the beach and have the time of our lives.



He was chasing me on the sand and we both fell to the ground laughing.

This night was so magical because I was madly in love like I've never been before and for a moment it felt like forever. He was everything I ever wanted. Everything, any girl would ever want.

He knew exactly how to touch me. He knew exactly how to hold me and he knew exactly how to make me laugh. It felt like we were teenagers. Young, wild and free.



As we sat there on the sand holding hands and talking, the sun begun to rise.

It was already after 6 in the morning. Time really flies when you're having a good time.


Dario- Wow! The sun is already rising.

Precious- I know.

Dario- Don't be sad.

Precious- I'm not sad. 

I lied.

Dario- Good. Because tonight was so much fun. It was too fun to leave sad.

Precious- You're right.

Dario- I still have to pack. But it can wait, I just need five more minutes here with you. *As he placed his head on my shoulder*

I wanted to cry. I really wanted to cry.


 I fought with everything in me not cry. Five minutes, five minutes was all I had left with him. Five minutes to spend with him, cuddling. We could have had sex, we could have kissed, we even could have played on the beach some more but instead, We sat there watching the sunrise holding hands. Just appreciating each other for the last time.


As he walked me to my car, I hoped he said...

I hoped he gave some sort of hint that this wasn't our final goodbye and that I would see him again someday.

But he didn't. He just walked me to my car.






And as we approached it the urge to cry came back. I felt so heart broken. So sad. But so happy. Happy that I met a man like him. Happy that I finally felt true love. Happy that finally a man didn't break my heart, but rather pieced it back together again.

As we arrived to my car, I turned to him with glossy eyes and a soft smile.

Precious- So, this is it.

Dario- Yeah, I guess it is.

I didn't want to leave. I couldn't. 

I loved him.

I really loved him.

Precious- I can drive you to your  hotel room if you'd like.

Dario- Nah, it's just 2 minutes up the street. I can walk.

Precious- Come on, I don't mind.

Dario- It's ok, really. It'll only make this harder. Trust me.

I then sighed not knowing what to say next and he touched my hand and responded:

Dario- Harder for me...

Precious- I can't believe we are saying goodbye. Forever.

Dario- I wish things were different.

Precious- Yeah me too...

We then hugged and this was the last time he held me. He squeezed me and I squeezed him too. There was so much passion and love in this hug that I'm sure we both cried.

Dario- You will find love. You will find a man that will love you and treat you better than I have. You will find someone that you wont be able to take your hands off of. You will be able to demand what you want and not accept anything less. You are glowing more now than when I first met you a week ago. You had been lost Precious and broken. You had given up. Let this motivate you to stay strong and I promise you, you will find your white guy. *As he teased and we both laugh*



Dario- You will find someone to keep a smile like that on your face.

Precious- You are way too good to be true.

Dario- I think that about you too. *As he smiled*

Precious- Have a safe flight back.

Dario- Thanks. I'll keep in touch. To see how you're doing and if you've found someone. You'll always have a place in my heart.

Then I cried. I couldn't hold it back. I just couldn't.

Precious- You too. You too... 

I then started my car and looked at him once more.

Dario- Don't look back. You drive. You let me walk away and don't look back. And promise me no crying! *As he smiled with his eyes glossy*

Precious- Promise. *As I smiled even though I was already crying*

I then drove off slowly and he stood there watching me. My heart started racing as I looked at him walking away. Hoping he'd look back at me once more.

But he didn't. He didn't look back. Even though I wasn't suppose to either. I couldn't believe he didn't looked back.

As he became a tiny blur in my rearview mirror. My heart begun to break. I know he said that he pieced it back together again. But leaving him and never seeing him again felt so wrong!

But at the same time I felt so free for the first time. For the first I knew what I wanted. For the first time I had HOPE. I didn't even knew I lost it but there it was. In all the pain I felt watching him leave, to go back across the world where he lived, I found comfort. A odd comfort that men like him do exist. That it is possible to fall in love, that no matter how long it takes I will find my Mr. Right. 

Even though I really wished he was my Mr. Right.

I've been feeling so stressed out and so overwhelmed for months feeling as though I needed a different perspective on life and then he just came along and made things make sense.



And even though I knew he was about to leave and that I'll never see him again I still didn't care. I still allowed myself to fall in love with him. 



Not worried about tomorrow's pains but more focused on today's happiness... That happiness in which, came to a heart breaking but yet life changing, end. 

At some point we realize that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life...

You have awaken something inside of me that wants more, that needs more, something that I thought had been dead or no longer existed something that I stopped believing in and had lost all faith in . You have given me HOPE again!

So thank you ❤️  For every full moon I see and for every sunrise I watch, I'll think of you. And although I'll never see you again. I love you.

Please Sign,

 Mr. Switzerland
