Write Things Down

Notes &

I should have known she still loved me when she showed me her ring. Lisa called me from a number I hadn’t seen in three years. She wanted to tell me something and she had to tell me in person. She drove to my house and called my parents mom and dad. We sat in my room, in the same spot we first kissed and she told me she was getting married. She looked me up and down and didn’t find any reaction she wanted. I was in love and that took me a year to do after her. Her name was Jessica and I was a fool to think I’d marry her one day. Three years go by and I’m single, depressed and recently out a thousand or so dollars I threw into the ocean. I should have returned the ring I bought Jessica when I first thought I tasted him on her lips.
