I knew you were going to call

I was sitting at work when the phone rang. I was in the middle of a CBIA (Comprehensive Brain Injury Assessment) and I was in the zone. I glanced at the phone and did a double take. WHAT?! You were calling me? After not speaking to me for about 4 months you decide to pick up the phone and 'chat' about life? I wasn't upset that you called. It was a surprise and it threw me off. You see, I moved on and the phone call didn't help with the healing. We chatted about your trips around the world, my trip to Spanish Fork, books I've read-books you've listened to. And the conversation was a good one, but why did it happen in the first place? You were the one who ended things, not me. So I may have been a hard one to date, but I tried-a little. And I'm getting better all the time. I recognize where I went wrong and I really am working on trusting others and letting them into my life. Back to you, my long lost, uh, friend? I wanted to ask why you called. To renew our friendship? You decided to give me another chance at love? You were bored? You made a New Years Resolution and decided to start the year out with a bang? Well, I applaud your efforts. I refuse to analyze the phone call anymore than I just did. But I will have you know that I knew you were you going to call. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I just knew. I liked being with you. I liked who I was when we were together. You made me feel smart. Beautiful. My opinions mattered. But that just wasn't enough. So thank you for calling, but next time, I don't think I'll answer the phone.

When I got the idea to ask him to call you, I figured you'd be delighted to hear from him since it had been so long. So much for surprises. Didn't know it would bother you so much... I'm just kidding - it wasn't me. I have no real answers for you. I do feel your confusion, though. How are you feeling now?

It didn't bother me that you asked him to call :) It was just interesting. I'm great.

Well I have to say way to put it out there. I mean you could have kept all those feeling inside and then he would have probably thought ohh I bet her life is now complete now that I'm going to come back into it, the spark will be reignited blah blah blah.. Why is there the need to reconnect with something that is where is should be dead.. He probably realizes he was an idiot. So I can see why he would want to try, but really after a year. love love
