If you asked me a year ago, if I still loved my ex... I'd tell you yes. I'd reply that the stars in the sky couldn't compare to the twinkle in his eyes. I'd climb to the tops of the buildings whose silhouettes decorate our night sky, and scream from the tops of my lungs that, "YES. I DO LOVE HIM. Every time someone mentions his name I feel the butterflies in my stomach turn to stone. The tears burn my eyes as my make-up runs down my face. My chest caves in and I can't fill my lungs with enough air to breathe."
If you asked me if I loved him today, I'd say yes. I'd reply that although I do love him, I'm no longer in love with him.
