Have That EX You Never Forget?

I have never used the word "EX" to refer to any boyfriend from the past. I find myself saying "My boyfriend from one year like that" then I go ahead to tell the year and also add that it didn't last. Yup! I'm that kind of girl.

Up until now,  I don't know what it means to have an Ex that one can never forget. I've forgotten my boyfriends from every year. Not in a bad way tho, because we still talk wella. I have forgotten them in the " You have this power over me" way.  I've forgotten them in the "we could get down whenever we meet" way.  I have totally forgotten them in the "we still have chemistry" way.  I am still disappointed that my girlfriend had "That ex she never forgot". Her story makes me inquisitive about how many other people have such a person in their lives. I am that girl that would never go back to a boyfriend from any year no matter how much of a hit that relationship was. I can't even have another fling with someone I had a fling with from previous years especially if I'm in a relationship or have fresh flings. I haven't forgotten my first love. That's a different ball game. I was little girl and who can forget that kind of innocent beautiful thing?

This girlfriend of mine had this very cool nigga in her life. I call him "the koko" because he was and still is the real deal. This guy was what a boyfriend should be. The way he treated her, I could poison her to have him and this babe is my boo from the 60s. He totally treated her right. It was glaring that he loved her and she loved  him just as much. You notice all the past tense? Good! That's because all that is in the past. She had the"we still have chemistry" syndrome with one of her Exes. She'd always say I love Marcus but I just cannot forget Ambrose. Yuck! I hate his name more than ever. Her words disgusted me like his name. I did not see the point of loving one person and remembering another person. What was she remembering him for? What was the special thing he did for/to her that she still can't forget? What did he have that the koko did not have? Why was she with the koko if he Ambrose was all that to her?  It vexed me when she told she was the one who broke things off with him. She claimed she didn't fit into his circle of friends. I wonder if she was dating him or his friends.

The koko broke things off with her because he came across a text message she didn't delete. One very romantic something Ambrose had sent to her. A message that showed she was giving him some of her good stuff.  She's been begging the koko to forgive her, take her back and all that. She even asked me to mediate. As the better pikin that I am, I tried my best, I called for a meeting and he showed up. I still have a clear picture of the koko sitting opposite me and the way I put the straw inside my chilled bottle of coke into my mouth when he said "Th, I don't go back to my Exes. It's like eating my own vomit". I held back my smile and was like "damn! Why I no poison this babe since?" And now there's the "We don't date our friend's Exes" code. Someone has gotta abolish them rules. I mean, my can't a girl work with referrals? Why does a girl have to start from scratch when she could have this. I was assistant girlfriend na, I could easily take girlfriend place. Oh well, scratch that!

My girlfriend has mentioned how much she misses the koko a couple of times and I wonder if the koko is the new ex she can't forget.  Did I mention that Ambrose is a stupid married man? 

Do you have that ex you never forgot? If you do, please let me know what you are remembering him or her for.
