January 2012
Really?
All I wanted was someone who’d be afraid to lose me.
Underworn
I bought some new lacy underwear this week. It makes me both sad and glad you won’t be seeing it…
Suiting You
I saw a shirt that would suit you. Unfortunately there’s no more you to buy it for anymore.
Yes or Nokia
I often wonder what would have happened had I known how to answer a cell phone that night in 1998.
Biggest Fear
My biggest fear in life isn’t death or destruction. It’s that I’ll never stop loving you. I hate myself for that.
Another Translation
Don’t you know that by saying I want you out of my life, I mean that now would be a great time to convince me we never should have parted?
The B&W of Us
I didn’t need rose-colored glasses—the black & white of us was astounding.
Screwed-Up Parts
I still love you with every screwed up part of me.
Star Potatoes
Remember our last night together in Africa when those potatoes wouldn’t boil, so I sat outside with you under the stars instead?
Kitchen Matches
Right now I wish we were in my kitchen, covered in spilled rum, kissing, laughing, wrestling and rolling around on the floor.
Thought-Out
I love having thoughts I know you’d love. As I struggle to put these thoughts into words, I realize I won’t get to tell you them anyway. So I let them go.
Re-Figure
I have to figure out how to be single again.
Bad Pic
The fact that we could never take a decent picture together should have warned me we were doomed.
Poor Dog!
Did I ever tell you my dog’s birthday is the day after yours? His birthday parties are my way to vicariously throw a birthday party for you.
Psych 100
The only time you want to talk to me is when I ignore your emails.
B or W
I love you! What could be better or worse than that?
Love by Association
Did you love me? Or the feelings associated with me? I will never know.
Stills
I wish you still thought of me, like I think of you.
Makeunder
So happy to run into you the other day. And of course you looked good. Couldn’t you have looked like shit?
Ringing Out the Year
I can’t believe it’s been more than a year since we were looking at those rings, and now we aren’t even Facebook friends.
Common Cons
The list of things we have in common is endless. However, the list of cons is even longer. This makes zero sense.
Snooped
I snooped through your text messages while you were sleeping. I’m sorry.
Joking for Real
We put that we were dating on Facebook as joke, but I wanted it to be true. You took it down because people didn’t like you dating a girl. Now you’re actually dating a girl, and I’ve felt like a widow ever since.
Nonchalance Olympics
It was like a nonchalance competition whenever we were together. You usually won, of course.
Accepting the Reality
Our love wasn’t real. That’s what I keep telling myself. But for the life of me, I can’t seem to believe it.
#plan
I’m going to leave my twitter public, so someday you’ll search for me, read through my tweets, see that I am actually funny, and decide you can’t live without me.
Big Regret
I have never regretted anything more than when, in anger, I told you I never loved you.
Of Mice and Mice
You tricked me. I would’ve never believed that a jerk would read Of Mice and Men to a girl.
Mirror Dressing
I’ll never forget how we’d dress each other in your bedroom mirror. We’d always get distracted by our reflected smiles, the feeling of skin on skin, and the threat of something other than sunlight peeking through the windows.
Jonesing
I hate that your constant weed smoking was one of the main reasons I broke up with you, yet every time I catch a whiff of it, I long for you.
How's That?
I loved you so innocently and completely that I had to immediately fall in love with someone else.
Free Beer
I don’t know what is sadder—that the only gift you ever gave me was a bottle of beer, or that I kept it for so long.
Good, But Not Good For
Just because you weren’t good for me doesn’t mean you weren’t a good person. I am sorry it has taken me years to realize that.
Critter of the Night
I hardly ever think of you in the light of day, but you sure know how to invade my dreams at night.
All About You
When you were mine, it was all about you. And now, it’s all about you not being around.
Spot Guidance
I know he will never be able to find the spots that make you go crazy, because let’s be honest, you didn’t even know about them before me.
Prob Not
You think I’d be normal if I had never met you?
Secret Answer
Your name is not my password, but it is the answer to my secret question in case I forget my password.
Schoolhouse Rocking
Remember when we broke into the anatomy room? We both learned some biology that night. Too bad we couldn’t get into the chemistry room or we might still be together.
I’m sorry I hurt you. I was losing myself. I forgot I was capable of being an individual and had potential to offer the world. I miss going to the Farmers’ Market and trying new bread and cheese. I miss watching Grey’s Anatomy with you. I miss supporting you. I just needed to focus on myself, I hope that you find happiness.
Feelings the Same
I feel for you how I did years ago.
All the Way Around
In middle school, you were the guy at school dances I wanted to dance with. You put your arms all the way around me, not just on my hips like the others. It made me feel scandalous and beautiful. Now I keep wondering where the chaperones were.
Chillwave Flow
You know I put you on to that old and new school R&B chillwave flow. Hope you’re crediting me, even if it’s just in your head.
No Future
We didn’t know what the future held, but I wanted to try and find out. You didn’t.
Runbacks
It’s been two years and we still run back to each other even after everything.
Locked Out
I decided that going over to your house and changing all your locks was too cliche, so I went over to your neighbor’s house and got him to change his Wi-Fi password instead.
Wish You Knew
I’ve moved on, but for some reason, I wish you knew that.
Shouldn't Haves
I shouldn’t have laughed when you drunkenly said I love you that first time. And I shouldn’t have waited until you fell asleep to say it back.
Scoop
Next time you hug me, could you just scoop me up in your arms and carry me off? I’ll struggle, but I’ll let you win.
Missing an Adj.
You’ve told me that I’m cute, I’m hot, I’m smart, I’m hilarious, I’m awesome, yet you don’t want me. What adjective am I missing?
