How He Loved Her

Kindness. Patience. And a lot of sense of humor. Are among the thousand things I’ve learned from dad in terms of building a good relationship with your partner.

I stormed out of the house last night before dinner. For the first time after so many times I have thought about doing so, I was able to drag my feet out of the door. And even though my heart felt heavier than any part of my body, I was able to make it to the metro. When the train started moving, there was no turning back. I realized it would probably feel the same way if we ended our relationship right there. Same amount of unconsciousness and numbness. Just tiny controlled beats inside my chest holding it together as long as I can.
