He called me at 2 am last night. He knows I go to bed early on worknights. He hung up after one ring. But I had already been jarred awake, and couldn't very well sleep knowing he had just called me. (We hadn't spoken since our big, final, fight the night before.) I called him back. He apologized profusely for waking me up. "It can wait, go back to sleep." "Just- what is it?"
He had noticed that I had un-friended him on Facebook. Was I mad at him? He wanted to know. Was I cutting him out of my life for good?
No, no. Of course not.
I still love him. As much as I ever have. But if we really, truly, can't be together, then I know what's coming. The lonely nights spent clicking through his Facebook photos and crying.... it's too much. Reading a status update that makes it sound like he's out having fun? It's too hard. Nevermind the random wall posts from girls I don't know... It's just too hard to break up with someone and still be friends with them on Facebook.
He understood. Last time we "broke up" he begged me to un-friend him. (I guess he didn't have the courage to do it himself.) It sucks.
I know it is ridiculous. I dumped him for god sake! He wasn't giving me enough, I needed more. But I never wanted us to be apart. I still don't want to be apart.
I woke up with an awful headache today, and I've had it all day long. When does it stop hurting?
I used to call my ex-girlfriend and then hang up. It was fairly tragic and I cringe when I look back at that sort of behavior. But it means you're still on his mind.
