Sometimes I wonder if I still have feelings for Levi. There, I said it. I suppose this makes me even more human.
Intellectually, I'm sure that I don't. I know that I literally despise what he's done to my son, and I know that I do not have any respect for him, whatsoever, anymore.
But there are moments that I'll reminisce about things he and I did together, and I'll smile. But there are moments where I still miss him. But there are moments when we are SCREAMING at each other, where I'm like, wow. You can't scream at an ex you don't care about, right? You can't scream because you're indifferent, right?
I've had breakups in the past — one big one — and I recall going through these same motions; the pain and devastation, the crying, the name calling and yelling, and then the indifference, which carries you to where you can see each other on the street and stop to say hello.
I recall going through those motions, and I extract comfort from that from time to time in a this-to-shall-pass kind of way. Problem is, these motions went much faster the first time around.
And truthfully, it's really not even me. I mean, I get it that it takes two to tango, but I don't scream at Levi. I try not to engage in arguments with him. I try not to stoop to childish name calling. He, on the other hand, can not control himself. He is incapable of a civil conversation. I cannot understand it.
I have done nothing to warrant this behavior. I have done nothing to deserve his constant verbal abuse. Yet, it happens. Yet, he acts like he hates me.
I am reminded of the boy in grade school that used to pull my hair and make me cry. Later, he told me that he had a crush on me.
No, I don't have feelings for Levi. But maybe he still has them for me?

He may, but would you
Making me dizzy

And how easy it is to tell *others* to get life.
Thanks Alice
Sorry.
It's not indifference but acceptance
Perhaps
Hey, back off of Faith, she's knee deep in it for Christ sakes!
It is easy to judge others-
I should have written "OUR"
ha!
