There's distance in the air

Do you ever go for a really long time without seeing or talking to someone and then when you finally do everything is just... different? I had that happen to me about a week ago. It was the weekend, I was out, and then randomly I received a text from an ex asking what I was doing and if he could stop over. I told him that I was out but it would probably fine to stop by when I was home. Well, I got home around 12:30 and he said that he would probably be over in about 30 min. Now, it had probably been about a month and a half since I've talked to him or seen him and him coming over in about half an hour meant that it would be one in the morning. I don't know about everyone else, but when someone wants to come over that late- I'm not assuming it's so we can sit around and play Monopoly. Ha. He pulled up, got out of the car, I walked over to him- and nothing. There was this guy standing in front of me who I knew so well, but at the same time seemed like such a stranger. We awkwardly hugged and continued on with some small talk along the lines of "how are you, stranger" and "how's work". After dodging a kiss, I decided to let my bluntness get the best of me and let him know straight up that nothing was about to happen and that if he wanted to talk for a bit we could, but without him doing so 1 inch from my face. After saying my piece he replied all huffy and said "fine, why don't I just leave then?" and he started walking towards his car (So much for Monopoly.) ... uhh what? Is this guy being serious? Typical. I guess he really didn't want to come over just to talk, but in the back of my mind I knew that from the beginning. I just looked at him in amusement, got up, started to walk him out to his car and said "Ha! What the hell? If you're going to leave cause I told you 'no' and to get off of me than fine- you can leave because I'm not playing games right now. Bye." Apparently I was supposed to ask him to stay cause he changed his story real fast and said he just wanted to talk. Okay, let's talk. He stayed maybe another 15 minutes, and all I could really think about was how I had no longer had feelings for this person standing in front of me. Yay! Right? I was just standing there thinking about our past and the memories that we had; I realized I wasn't sad at all and that it didn't hurt. Believe me, sometimes when the memories hit- it hurts. This time was different- and it was a good feeling. Kind of weird though how some things turn out so differently than how we once had planned.

I saw this quote and thought it was perfect:

Have a beautiful day.
