I called you in search of a lightbulb. After three months of no contact, and my feelings remaining unchanged, I expected the worst. But, it actually was for the best. You never called me back. No, instead you emailed me: a cold, impersonal note giving me only the required information, giving me only a hint of what was. Not particularly romantic but quite realistic. You’ve moved on. Maybe I should, too.
