My therapist told me that you didn't seem like the Worst partner, and it stung a little But she was right She had me list one positive thing one negative thing about you. It was easy. You were Fun Emotionally unavailable. The other night I told a few people at the bar you work at that we broke up. They nod as if they saw it coming but don't ask the particulars. And in those moments I felt held by a community I never thought existed - at least not for me. Even in my dreams my ex tells me to moisturize. The day after that dream I wake up smiling I can say what I want about you but you taught me some good lessons: Moisturize Hydrate Stand up straight Don't think like a loser. And weeks after the breakup I still feel numbed out, but there are all these things that act as a battering ram against my iced up heart. Break me open.
