Storytime Episode 1 - Timing

“I think…no, I know now. I loved you, but the reality was I loved the idea of you.”

“Is that really how you feel? Because, I’m in love with you.”

“I don’t think you are.”

“I am! I really am,” he took a little step forward.

In all honesty, I like that we met at night in the rain. I can’t see him, and I’m glad he can’t see me.

“Aren’t you happily engaged now?”

“Yes, but…”

“There’s no but,” I said. I walked closer to him so we could look into each other’s eyes. I wanted him to know I was over all of it.

“I’m tired of this. You’re not the first guy who couldn’t choose,& I’m sick & tired of this. This is goodbye.”

I stormed off but was graceful. I thought I would cry when this moment came, but nothing came out. I didn’t look back even though he talked more.

“I loved you then, but I didn’t know how you felt. I made moves, but you didn’t reciprocate. How was I supposed to know? How could I read you?”

He was trailing off because he was farther now, but I knew he wasn’t entirely wrong. Maybe I didn’t read it right which is why we were in this mess. Bottom line is our timing sucked. We weren’t meant to be. Simple as that. All I know is I was over all of this. No more tears could come out & part of me thought of all the water we waste.
