Breaking The Ice

Relationships can get to the point where whether you admit it or not, it’s over.  We could have another few months, years even, but it’s already over.

Yeah, sometimes it’s not what you do that counts, it’s what you don’t do.  We go nice places, we eat out for dinner, I take photos that make us look interesting. 

We don’t talk.  We don’t touch, much.  We don’t laugh as much as we should, or smile as easily as we used to. 

Every word that passes between us is infused with indifference.

The only passionate exchanges we have lately are arguments, and even then the passion is one-sided.  He barely says a word, answers almost every question with ‘I don’t know’, and grits his teeth until I give up and walk away.

Walk away.
