Watching the Door

“I remember the exact moment that I knew I had to break up with him,” Josh said. “I was at this party that he was supposed to come to, and I kept watching the door, waiting for him to walk in. I felt so dependent, and that’s not me. I’m not like that. He never showed up to the party, never called, never texted me…”

“Is it really the other person’s fault that we feel this way? They don’t have control over our feelings,” I said.

Josh thought for a moment. “No, it is their fault,” he replied. “People have a responsibility to other people.”

Rona had asked me if I wanted to be with him. I said I didn’t know, but I knew that I didn’t want to be without him.

I guess I just got tired of watching the door.
