My phone rings and I'm not scared to look at it anymore. The chime makes me happy because I know I got what I wanted. Closure.
I click the screen and it opens my email account.
I smile when I see the name on top.

Hey, it's been a while, and just so you know, I'm not trying to do anything this time. I swear.
My mom got a job offer in California. I just thought you should know.
I know you're in Boston and all, and there's a high chance you won't read this email, but I just wanted to say goodbye.
You were right when you said we should've ended things off. I'm doing it now.
I love you. I do, Liv. But I know that sometimes loving someone means letting them go.
So I'm letting you go now. l'm happy that I got to know you as a friend and someone closer.
Goodbye (I'm serious, I mean it),
All the best,
Sam.

Even when I meet up for coffee with my boyfriend and finish a stack of paperwork from my job, I think of him as not someone that I wish for, but someone I know that was the perfect first chapter of my life.
Funny, right? Everything was just part of a big book that is who I am.
Me.
And now, I swear, I've gone from emails to texts. It's just so much easier. For everyone I guess.
