Do you ever look at old texts from partners or almost partners and think why did I do that to myself?
A little voice says, well you were lonely.
Yes, but I let him talk to me like that? Is my asking price for companionship that low? To accept that versus having to be alone with my thoughts just a little while longer?
A second voice says. This is not the first.
No. It is not.
A third voice notices the bigger picture. Will he be the last?
God. I hope so.
