it’s dumb, isn’t it? to have a message scheduled for 12:02am (not 12:00, I can’t look desperate) on may twentieth, 2026.
just a hi. but wondering if that’ll even get a response.
three years since we both started our love story. three years since we’ve been together.
three weeks since everything was right. longer, probably.
you said it was a break. will the memory of our love mean anything?

the “12:02 so i don’t look desperate” part hit me right in the chest. i used to rewrite texts over and over after my breakup, trying to sound casual when i was actually falling apart. love makes us do these tiny heartbreaking calculations
when someone has been your person for years, your brain keeps reaching for them even after things crack
and I feel like he’s holding that fact against me.
three weeks is such fresh pain. do you feel like they’ve actually been treating this like a break, or have you been the only one still holding onto the relationship this whole time?
it’s been longer, honestly. things have been fucked since april and it’s honestly probably been closer to a month. it definitely will be by next week. i couldn’t tell you earnestly if he was thinking about this- i still talk to one of his friends who tells me he’s hurting. (one of his only friends who doesn’t hate me.) and tells me he’s hurting bad. needs time. he (my partner) loves enforcing the fact that we’re on a break. hasn’t said i love you or called me a pet name since. and when under duress, he’s quick to say he wants to be done. im holding onto the relationship because im in a terrible place and dont know anything else. and it feels like he’s peeling my hands off in disgust. but I know he needs time. it’s hard.
