Consolation Prize

"Hi.  We need to talk." is the message you left on my machine.
It has been ages since I've last heard from you.

So, I call you back.

You tell me that your life has been miserable ever since you decided to leave me.  Funny..so has mine.

You tell me your days have been long and your nights have been so lonely that life just isn't the same without me.  You've been out with a ton of guys and not one of them treated you as good as I treated you.

You've had a rough romantic year from what you're telling me.

I can see where this conversation is going so I interupt you, just the way you interupted me before I told you I loved you and then you left me..

"I'm sorry," I say "but I'm not your consolation prize.  Bye."

And I hang up and finally let you go.
