the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else

Good stuff, enjoyed the writing tone and the reminiscing quality to the language. “When we were 10, Carved J+M in an oak tree” very nice. The transition part in the middle when the emotions changed was sudden but that was a good effect. Good resisting any chance to go over the top, just keeping it very direct and straightfoward. It brought the emphasis to those good aspects.
