Wealmostdate someone.
God & Man
We dont put a label on the relationship, but we do everything that dating consists of.
We text in between classes and while were stopped at red lights.
We stay up until midnight talking on couches and sitting a little too close forjust friends.
We watch old sitcoms and make out with Netflix playing as background noise.
We drive to pick up burgers or pizza together to eat in the parking lot.
We tell ourselves that were fine taking things slow.
God & Man
That we dont have time for a relationship anyway.
That were young anyway.
That we are enjoying being single anyway.
But in the back of our minds, were counting down the days until the relationship becomes real.
Until our Facebook status changes.
Until we can post kissing pictures on Instagram.
Until we can delete our Tinder and stop searching the bar for other singles.
We still text every once in a while to sayheyyy how are you doing.
We still like each others pictures.
We never get over each other, because we never give each other thechanceto get over each other.
There is never any closure.
There is always a bit of hope.
We forget why we let ourselves separate in the first place.
Were older now, were more mature and ready for commitment, so we decide to date this time.
Maybe the relationship actually works now that we have admitted how we feel for each other.
Maybe it leads tomarriageand babies and monogamy.
But if it doesnt, we go our separate ways again and then reunite again.
We areon and off, off and on.
Our relationship status is forever set toits complicated.
Nowadays, everyone has their Ross.
Everyone has their Rachel.
The person we arentofficiallywith, but might as well be with.
The person that we will always come back to, whether it is right or wrong.
Whether they belong in our present or only belong in our past.
Nowadays, we dont move on fromalmost relationships.
We just keep going back to them.
