Hearing from someone that you called me clingy hurt. I picked you up. I dropped you home. I know I wasn’t the “one.” But that shows I was man enough to give my all. It shows I was the only one who cared about what WE HAD.
"Dear Old Love" is short, anonymous notes to people we've loved (or at least liked). Requited or unrequited.
The ex-husband in Grace Paley's short story "Wants" says to his ex-wife, "I attribute the dissolution of our marriage to the fact that you never invited the Bertrams to dinner." If you're bitter, that's the way to express it here.
