this morning #2259.

this morning, of all the constructed conversations in my head, this one is by far the best. an ideal vision of what i should’ve said. we really got into it last night. one of our classic fights. first in a while. broke a three-week streak of relative civility. later on, as i lay in bed trying to fall asleep, i kept replaying the dispute in my head. dozens of scenarios. couldn’t help but feel like he came out on top in the end. it didn’t have to play out like it did though. not saying that i had to win but i believe that we could’ve avoided going down the path of quarreling all together. i fell asleep awash in all kinds of lines. by the time i awoke, the solution had arrived. better late than never, i guess. he’d already left for work though, so i held my breath. filed it away for the rest of the day.
