Common Cons
dearoldlove:
The list of things we have in common is endless. However, the list of cons is even longer. This makes zero sense.
Stills
dearoldlove:
I wish you still thought of me, like I think of you.
Missing an Adj.
dearoldlove:
You’ve told me that I’m cute, I’m hot, I’m smart, I’m hilarious, I’m awesome, yet you don’t want me. What adjective am I missing?
Someone Around
dearoldlove:
We just kept each other around to have someone around.
Recovery Period
dearoldlove:
I don’t know what’s worse—that I still love you, or that I’ve been trying to get over you much longer than I was with you.
Am I Crazy?
dearoldlove:
It may be six years since we last spoke, but I still speak to you every day in my mind. Maybe I am as crazy as you thought I was.
A Great Idea
dearoldlove:
I loved the idea of you more than I loved you. I still miss that idea, though.
Rocky
dearoldlove:
I wish you could be the rock that I cling to in times of trouble. Instead, you are the trouble and the ocean of unrequited love that drowns me as I look for that damn rock.
Mean Unwell
dearoldlove:
I think you think you meant well, but I know you really didn’t.
Stylist
Sweaters. Sweaters. Sweaters.
dearoldlove:
Sometimes I see pictures of you, and you’re wearing clothes I bought you or picked out. Clearly you valued at least some of my opinions.

If you want to cry today, listen to this interview...
Coming Back
dearoldlove:
Why, when I was the one you didn’t want, am I the one you keep coming back to?
Hoodie
dearoldlove:
I don’t know why seeing a photo of you in your grey hoodie that I used to wear hurts so much. It’s like proof we actually existed. Did you think of me when you put it on?

I Was Trying
dearoldlove:
What makes me sad is that I will never be the one who truly broke your heart.
Brave Smile
dearoldlove:
Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to smile at you when we see each other.

Our Bad Times
dearoldlove:
At least the bad times were ours—your angry face twisting words that never came out of my mouth.
Non-Commity
dearoldlove:
You’re the reason I can’t fully commit. But I don’t think I ever even cross your mind these days.
Three Years Ago Today: A Timeline
“Three years ago today I got an airplane to go on a first date. We went to Bender’s. I haven’t been on another first date since.”
I didn’t officially find out until April. And not from him, no. Sure I had seen some internet flirting, but I didn’t know about December. I found out at a bar, while he was away, from an aspiring blogger/bartender after my friend....
Burrito Date
Seriously, stop the updates.
dearoldlove:
Jealousy swims through my veins, for she can go on burrito dates with you. While I sit 2,456 miles away, starring at a screen wishing she didn’t update the world about it.
Unhealthy
dearoldlove:
I never talk about anyone as much as I talk about you. No one should care about another human being this much. It’s not healthy.
Even When
dearoldlove:
Even when I do not like you, I love you.
Your Convenience
dearoldlove:
You were my world, and I was your convenience. Yet my heart still hurts for you.
T.C.
dearoldlove:
Our play was a tragicomedy.
Contradiction
Timing, dear.
dearoldlove:
You told me you still love me in the same conversation you told me you were seeing someone new.

Break-Up →
This first five minutes almost always makes me cry.
Web-telepathy
dearoldlove:
I am sitting here looking at your name online, telepathically begging you to speak to me. But you won’t. You never do. But I suppose neither do I.
