I wish he'd just shut the fuck up. He just yells and complains and ignores me! Then other times he's sweet and buys me flowers and cuddles on the couch with me. I wish he was like that all the time, but I can't change who he is. I fell in love with who he is, but some days I question why.

"Craig, baby, you in here?" Tyler asked standing outside the locked bathroom door. I can't stay in here forever, might as well come out now before he gets angry and breaks down the damn door.

"Yeah I'll be out in a sec Tyler," I say, wiping my eyes. "Just give me a sec." Once my eyes are dry and no longer red, I put on my glasses and leave the bathroom only to run into a hard chest. Tyler grabs my waist to steady me and immediately pulls me into a hug.

"I'm sorry Craig. I really am. I can't help it." He squeezes me so hard I can't breathe. He does this every time. Hugs me until I can't breathe, says he's sorry, and walks away like it never happened. Well, not this time, I'm sick of it.

"Tyler we need to talk."

Sitting across from each other in the living room I avoid his eyes while he stares right at me. His eyes are burning me and I want to get this over with so I can go and do his third step for him. "Tyler..." Deep breaths Craig, "I think you're bipolar and-"

"What are you talking about? No I'm not!" He yells the last sentence and I flinch back, afraid he'll hurt me. He notices my flinch and his face drops, "Craig I'm so sor-"

And. I. Snap. "No you're not Tyler! You hurt me all the time so very much and I didn't know why until now! You're bipolar, Tyler! You hurt me and we go through the same three steps every time! You hug me until I can't breathe, you say you're sorry, and you walk away like it never happened and I'm sick of it!" Deep breath and finish this quickly and quietly Mini, "I'm sorry Tyler but this time I'm doing the last step for you. Goodbye, Tyler. Don't call me, don't text me, forget me."

And with that, I walked away and never looked back... Until one day, I saw him again.

It was at the supermarket of all the cliché places. I was getting fruit at the time: grapes, apples, bananas. "Craig? Is that you?" I turned around and saw him for the first time in seven years. I heard he left town after we had broken up? Questions were running through my mind. What had happened to him? I'm he smiling at me? I thought he'd be angry and not want to talk to me after what I said to him. It only took two hours (sarcasm) for us to go back to my place and for Tyler to explain what had happened.

He did leave town. He got counselling to help him with his anger. He was a lot better now and hadn't yelled at all in a very long time. He explain what the counsellor did to help but I wasn't listening, I was looking at his eyes. They were brighter than they've ever been. I knew he wasn't always happy when we were together, even in his good times, but I didn't know he was having a mental battle with himself for years. Two weeks ago it was suggested to Tyler that he should go back to his home town and start fresh, and he did. I'm so glad he did because four years after the supermarket catch up we fell in love all over again.

Now, fourteen years after our first and last break up, we are happily living together with two adopted children by our sides, a boy and a girl. They cause havoc but that's okay because we love them and they love us. Love will keep us going till the end of time.

Yeah this wasn't great. A bit too fast, but not I bad idea I guess. I hope someone liked it :P
