I Still Think Of You

I recieved a text message from my ex. We had dated for two years before I realized he was only taking advatage of me, but I have long forgiven him and moved on with my life. So, nearly eight years later, his message surprised me.

“Hey. I’ve been thinking about you, and I really miss you. Do you ever think about me?”

I thought about it for a moment, and I answered him. “Yes, in fact, I do think of you from time to time. I remember a lot about our relationship. For example, the other day, my dad took me to a new Thai restaurant that opened on the other side of town. We began a competition to see who could eat the hottest curry. I won, but in the end, I was the true loser. I spent two whole days on the toilet with what I can only describe as Johnny Cash’s Burning Ring of Fire. I ruined a shower curtain. I had to replace the upholstery in my car. My dog still cowers from me. And the whole time I was thinking, I’d rather be like this every day than ever go back to that useless excuse for a human being I dated in college.”

He didn’t text me back.
