On paper, he and I were perfect.

Actually, who am I kidding?

In real life, we were pretty perfect.

We almost never fought.

We explored majestic corners of the world together.

We laughed a lot.

He was tall, dark, and handsome, an athlete with a plan.

I was blonde hair, blue eyes, an artist with a dream.

I know that you and I are not the forever I once hoped for.

Thats the thing about break ups, right?

I wish I had bad things to say about you, but I dont.

I wish it were you.

I know this feeling will pass.

There is even science behind this: The neurology of addiction and separation.

What Icansay is that I know its normal.

But right now, I do.

When something happens and I have to tell someone, I want to tell you.

I know that you cant be the person to come over when Im lonely.

I know that probably no good would come from calling you.

Ive learned that knowing better does not equal feeling better.
