A year later, I wake up in the morning alone but hopeful.

I wish I could say that it wasn’t all bad, or that I left right when things changed, or that I left after it got too violent. But none of these things are true.

46 minutes. I texted you 46 minutes ago, and you still haven’t replied.

Here you are. The one I have waited so long for. The one I wasn’t even sure existed.

You feel differently about relationships

Embrace being “one of the guys.”

She knows what she wants, and isn’t going to settle for anything less. She will always lay it all out for you from the start; her expectations, her feelings, and her deal breakers.

If you tell me anything, ever, you have to mean it.

I re-evaluated my past relationships and realized that I was always investing too much energy into these guys, and I had never really invested any time in myself.

You are no longer here, yet you are everywhere.
