I hadn’t seen you in a while, in what like two years? When I ran into you on the beach and then you called, I got hopeful. I forgot all about how badly you treated me when everything ended. You asked if we could have a drink, hang out. Why not? I thought. It was casual. It was fun, two old friends hanging, tossing off the past, starting again, showing our best selves. But then we had sex, and it was dreadful. It had nothing to do with me and everything to do with you – your ego, your appetite. I could have been anyone, a stranger, another one of your ex’s. You just took what you wanted and I let you. One thing never just leads to another. I thought I loved you back then. Maybe I did. Maybe you loved me back, but it’s hard to believe it now. It’s hard to believe how empty an old flame can make you feel – like devoid of life. Old. Too old.
