Me & my ex talked tonight at length. Before we dated we were friends, and she has a new love now, perhaps that is what made it so easy to be able to tell her, and for her to tell me, how much we cared for each other, and that we had missed each other, that we wanted to be back in each other's lives. That, at the core, we were friends who were lessened by the loss of the other.
Much of the language you typed came up. I made her promises, she remembered them, she still believed me about them. Sometimes being true is not easy. If it was everyone would do it.
