Romantic

We started talking online before lockdown... arranged to meet up but it then coincided with lockdown. So we spent the next months talking & video calling every day. It was like having a boyfriend. 3 years of being single after being hurt so much in a previous relationship it took me a long time to open up. But I did eventually. And you did, you told me about your tough childhood and everything since...and I was hooked. It felt so deep. Lockdown eased. You came over at long last...but barely said a word to me, kissed me and we had sex twice. It felt strange, you were so unattached...you left pretty quickly. 5 days came and went and you didn’t message even after I text you. Eventually you did, you said you didn’t know what to say as you didn’t want anything romantic with me. I was mad and hurt. You were mean and I didn’t deserve that.
