Okay.
So, seeing the Ex-Love God pulled up a nerve.
It hurt so badly that he still made me so happy.
All the bad things went away and it was nice.
We joked, we laughed, we teased, we shared a deeper connection.
It was like time never passed.
And yet, in that moment, I knew that we could never be together.
I mean, it's been nearly 5 months.
5 months of ignoring each other and wondering why.
And where did I screw up?
And re-evaluating myself.
And then, one day ... next thing, it's like nothing had happened.
And I didn't even touch him.
No physical contact.
Yet, being around him was so blissful and soothing.
I felt content.
Not happy, content.
That's why I cried.
Because if he asked me out, I'd be back in his arms.
Just silent, enjoying the whispers of nothing and yet bursting with emotion.
And I don't want to go back.
Who gave him the right to just waltz back into my life?
I have a say in this.
I have never missed a guy so much in my life.
If he could hurt me so much before,why should I go through it again?
And I told him the truth.
Every time I talk to him, my life gets better.
Or at least, it feels that way.
And he feels the same way.
I make his day better.
Why would he leave if I did that?
And if he missed me so much, why didn't he say anything?
Not one word.
Silence is a cruel mistress.
Every time I saw him and he wasn't talking to me ...
That silence hurt.
And yet, my best memories involved saying nothing.
It's happening again.
I don't know if I can handle it.
But I'm going to try to enjoy it, right?
Here's to exes.
And all the emotions they inspire.
