Yes, it’s been a while. Yes, I stopped drinking. Except for beer, wine and vodka. Started smoking again, though.
And yes, as they say, I’ve “found someone.”
We met one day walking our dogs. She asked how it was going.I said not so good. Me neither, she said.
The next time we ran into each other, she admitted she’d waited for me. I felt the familiar redness coming into my face, I stared at my shoes. I felt her hand on my cheek. My first human contact in sixteen months.
When did I lose my capacity to deal? When did I not become a grown up man? Why does she, apparently, love me, and think I’m handsome? In other words, as opposed to you?
I've slowly become accustomed to appearing ridiculous to others. But even worse, to myself.
Life, apparently, is irreversible
