"It's no longer working." that sentence plays in my head like a broken record. Trying to keep myself from crying and I think the best way is to end it and the only way is quick and easy. Do not give any more reasons than you have to. I thought. "This is the way it has to be. I love you; I'm just not in love with you anymore. Its best that we split.'"

After being away from my once love of my life, you get used to the idea of the break up. I have made it to the eleven month mark and now something is different. My ex boyfriend is now popping in my mind occasionally. Then it's occasionally to more frequently. I am now filled with curiosity. I want to know but then I don't. I think to myself "what do I do?" I start by calling a friend we have in common. But there's nothing like hearing from him.

She tells me all the great things that have been happening to him. Then she drops bomb. He has a girlfriend. Well why not? We are no longer together. I think to myself "I wish there was a glimpse of hope he was still single like me." I was not clearly told how serious his relationship is. So I go and do what I once thought I would never do. I send him a text message saying a simple hello and just wait and see where the conversation goes from there. It takes while for him to respond. But when he does, I am just taking in by the fact that he responded. The text messages go on for an hour or less. It's like we are catching up on old times. Then I close it on a note "I feel like I'm being selfish. I want to know but in the same time I don't. But are you in a relationship? And if so I wish you the best and I hope you're happy."
He replies "Thank you."
