Dormant

“How do I end this, how do I escape our relationship”, but you tell me “You can’t. Even when you owe me nothing, and I owe you nothing it will not be over, our relationship will be dormant as I wait for you, should you ever wish to come back to me.”

This was part of a story written on Reddit. The relationship, a man with his phone company. I have been there. Trying to cancel an account with phone and cable companies is hard. But deciding to end a relationship with a human is even harder especially when there is no closure and you have no idea if it is over or not. Sometimes we wait like this phone company. We are lying dormant until that day they come back and their explanation may be weak but you want it to work so bad, you look past it. You ignore the red flags because it felt so right.

Sometimes it is not a relationship at all. Sometimes it is just you and a fantasy of someone, and you are there waiting for something to happen keeping yourself in limbo because things might develop even if they do not even see you at all or understand the feelings that you have.

Sometimes you have to get out of that dormancy. Move past the listlessness you are stuck in. Act. Do something to move forward and grow. Take happiness where you can.
