âI want to say I canât go on without you, but that isnât true. I have gone on without you. We have gone weeks and months without talking and I have found myself happy during that time. I thought of you and I missed you, but I also had happiness. But the thing is I donât want to go on without you. Even though I know that I am able, and able to happily live a life where you only live in my memories, I donât want to. I donât need you. I want you, and us and our late night talks which stem from fights and end in jokes. I want you to try to make me laugh when Iâm so angry all I can see is red. I want to hate you for doing it, for not taking me seriously even when I know that itâs your way to cheer me up and show me you love me. I want the part of us that is so intertwined and impassioned in each other that we can go days without needing another human soul. You see, I have had life without you, and I know what it entails. I have had adventurous solo road trips and hikes where I sit at the bottom of rocky cliffs staring out at the ocean. I have had drunken flings and nights where my girlfriends and I drink wine until we collapse on the couch. I have laughed without you. I have loved without you. I have had passion with other and I have had heartbreak with others. So believe me when I say that I do not need you, I can do this on my own or with someone else, but you are still a unique and wonderful presence in my life and I want you.â
