I need a shrink

I needed a new distraction. It was Tuesday. 2.23am. I text an old flame. (well maybe its not distraction, I seek but more of being called a heinous bitch or an egocentric whore, hours b4 I head to work.) I never did expect him to reply (ok... so maybe a teeny weeny bit of me was hoping he'll reply cause I wouldn't have wasted ma time texting in the 1st place) but he did. And he rang.

Judging from the way things ended almost a year before, I was half-expecting a full frontal verbal barrage of profanity. But that didn't happen. We talked till 5. Then he said, "It is but it never was." before saying our goodbyes. I never need to ask him what he meant. I've never had a problem deciphering any of his one-liners before and he understood all of mine.

That was, to me, one of the most beautiful ending to a conversation.
