#197

after our first date i still didn't recognize your number, but i answered anyway. i felt like we really connected you said. i'm not sure if i agree but our dinner and a movie date felt familiar, like a modern version of something i'd done before. it wasn't exciting, but it was comforting, and maybe that's the most we can ask for. after all, we are a generation that tries to define itself with nostalgia. how else can we explain all the hollywood remakes of movies and shows we saw as children, in happier times?
so i thought of his face when you kissed me and felt his long arms when you hugged me. his voice resounded in my head when i read your email. maybe that's what we're all doing here, because we've let the best ones get away or we've broken their hearts to fully.
