Dan broke up with me yesterday.The most ironical part is that I'd been sitting around for two weeks in utter agony, thinking of him every spare moment of the day, and having him tell me that he really never thinks of me. That was cruel. Of course it's a cruelty that must be said, but...

And another thing. So in six months or whenever, he decides that he wants me back, *why*? I mean, what if he just thinks he'll never do any better? Why on earth is he doing this? When we were talking yesterday, he mentioned something about not thinking of me and I said, "Yeah, I get it, the spark is gone, you've lost that lovin' feeling, whatever." But when I look at our relationship for the past two months, it doesn't jive. Maybe for the two weeks *before* he told me he wanted to take a break, when I started noticing something was wrong, but up till that point (even beyond, actually) he still told me he loved me, still kissed me, still did all those normal things you do when you happen to be in love with someone whose company you enjoy.

I'm not happy here. I'm mad. I actually argued with Dan about it for a little while...Before, I think, I would have just been like, "Oh, you don't want *me*? Then I don't need you," and walked out. But this is different. Sorry this e-mail is so long...I'm sure you're bored to tears. Anyway, I'll talk to you later...

Love you!

Me
