Happy end

A couple of years ago I had an amazing boyfriend and things were great… Until I realised I wasn’t yet ready to settle down. And I ran. I didn’t even have the guts to explain myself. I just ran away. We stopped speaking and I changed my number.

But I’ve missed him dearly these past two years. And throughout these years I’ve been texting him. Not conversational texts, but names of songs. He had no idea it was me all along. A couple of days ago, on the night of my birthday I texted him: “love and theft – runaway”. I fell asleep to wake up in the morning of my birthday to his text: “kci & jojo – crazy”. I love that song! And we went back and forth exchanging songs and… we somehow ended up talking about baby names, believe it or not. When he asked me how I would name my daughter I replied with ‘kiara’. That´s when he mentioned that his ex-girlfriend had coincidentally picked out the same name… And that´s when I finally said “today so happens to be your ex-girlfriend’s birthday…”

I can’t help but realise how stupid I was. I should’ve never ran. I should’ve stayed. We went on a date yesterday, dinner and a movie. Just like before…
