Because you’re hoping you’re wrong and every time she does something that tells you she’s no good, you ignore it. Every time she comes through and surprises you, she wins you over and you lose that argument with yourself, that she’s not for you. …[F]eeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible and how it can actually ache in places you didn’t know you had inside you. It doesn’t matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends… you still go to bed every night going over… how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. Sometimes you can even convince yourself that he’ll see the light and show up at your door…
