You know how a relationship ends, and then the two you, because you love each other and it's so painful, try to talk yourselves into different modes of bargaining and denial so you can believe it isn't really over, and then one of you sends an email that's like 1,000 words long with very few paragraph breaks, one dense chunk of rational yet irrational, measured reasons for giving up and admitting once and for all, it's over? That's where I'm at, and I'm the one who received the email, not the one who sent it, though it doesn't really matter which one of us took that step and gave the horse one final shot to the head. My ears are ringing and something is out of its misery but it isn't, just yet, me.
