And we all — all of us — think about our exes.

As I head into the new year, so many things come to an end.

Old wounds don’t heal that easy, and even less so if you keep on scratching them.

“

Nothing about all those wonderful things made our relationship easy. It was everything about all those things that made ending it hard.

“

TAURUS: Late at night when you’re alone in bed and wishing you had someone to cuddle.

“

LIBRA: You feel like you should be over your ex by now because you haven’t even seen them in forever.

“

Sometimes, the person you couldn’t imagine living life without is going to walk away without a glance back. Sometimes, you’re going to experience a hard switch from talking every single day to never speaking again.

He keeps coming up with more and more reasons to avoid making your relationship official. Maybe he really isn’t ready for a relationship right now because his heart is broken and he’s trying to heal. Or maybe he doesn’t want to make you his official girlfriend in case his ex wants to get back together again. Maybe he’s trying to stay available for her. 

“

You never let me creep too close. You shut down around me. You made sure the only vulnerable one in the room was me.
