I felt the irritation brimming under my skin, the bristling that happens when talks of past lovers occur. "Am I the only one who doesn't have any exes?" Wouldn't it be nice if I got it right on the first try. I didn't. A lot of us are not so lucky to still have our first loves.
Even more frustrating is the matter that I cannot speak on past loves without feeling... Kind of like a floozy. Like I am some awful, morally corrupt seductress who cannot keep a lover in her bed for longer than a night, and keeps her quadrants filled for even less. I can't speak on lovers lost, no matter how I lost them.
I miss so many of them. The ones I don't miss? I still want to speak about them. It just feels like I never can. Who cares, anyway?
