Just Saying Hello

Just Saying Hello

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

Ten months is a long time

You haven’t changed

You still look fantastic

I’m doing well

I suppose

I heard about your grandmother

My condolences

She was sweet and I liked her

I always thought she liked me too

How’s the kiddo?

That’s great

She’s getting so big

I miss the little monkey

I guess she’s not so little anymore

I heard you and your boyfriend broke up

I’m sorry

How’s the single life treating you?

Oh

You’re already dating someone?

That’s cool

Me?

I’m still single

You heard about her?

She was crazy

Literally

Therapy and medication crazy

I don’t want a relationship

Why not?

The pain of not realizing your dream of a family

Hurts a lot less

Than the pain of thinking you found someone

Who shares that dream with you

Just to watch it fall apart

You’re sorry?

For what?

It happens

It’s how I felt before you

Oh

Sure
I’ll see you around
