I wasn't alone. I knew that. For the first time in a long time, I was connecting- connected- with another person. How in the world was I alone?
Because I wanted to be. That's all I can say. It's all that makes sense to me. How many times have I let myself connect with someone only to have it thrown back in my face?
Everything seemed good, but I knew it had the potential to be awful. Much, much more painful than the others.
So there you were, letting me connect with you. And when I couldn't do that anymore, when I pulled the conversation to lighter topics, you made me laugh. And you were hilarious. You were exactly what I needed.
