This guy was remembering how much my sleep sucked, meanwhile he was the type who would sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
I explained I was at work and completely blanked on how late it was (1 AM for me, still late tho), so I asked him what he was doing up at 3 AM?! He told me about how he went back to grad school and woke up early to finish a presentation that was due later that day.
The next day, we started to FaceTime and catch up.
Old feelings resurface.
We return to our routine of talking on the phone for hours, always ending with him falling asleep snoring on the other end while I was still wide awake.
We talk about the old issues that ended our relationship and all the stuff that’d happened since, which there turned out to be a lot of. Our lives had changed in a lot of ways - he’d lost both his parents, rather tragically, separately. I’d lost one, also tragically.
Fast forward: We decide to meet.
Rewind: He had come to see me once before after over a year or so, but I was happy in a relationship with someone else. I was also still in love with this guy, and I almost cheated for the first time in my life, but I did the right thing and instead told him to move on and that I wished him the best.
Past/Present: Sparks are flying. He’s two times zones away, but we fly back and forth and stay as much as we can.
Our old problems rear their ugly heads, and the long distance doesn’t help.
We crash and burn.
We’re heartbroken.
TLDR: It ended the way it always ends when you go back to something that didn’t work out the first time.
