He didn't make me wait today

I came home early today. Work was exhausting as always. Tim and I have started having a lot of fights lately. So much that sometimes we forget what we were shouting at each other for. I don't remember the last time we kissed or made each other a cup of coffee. Even though we are living here together there are days when we don't even get to hear each other's voices. Either he is insensitive to my needs or I'm too busy to talk and sort things out or we both have our own big worlds in this little apartment.

They say people change.  I really don't think that's true. Because I still wake up to his alarm. I still use his towel, I still make breakfast for two, I still pack his bag and do his dishes. I still wait for him to look back and wave. I still try to get home before he does to open the door for him. I still like to sweep my fingers through his hair. I still like the smell of his aftershave. I still wait for him to ask me out for dinner. But what has changed is time. Because now there's little time for breakfast and a long wait for dinner.

I told him to make it early today. He said he would and I know he never lies.  Set the table different today, put some fresh flowers in the center. I made his favourite fish. I would have called to remind him but he forgot his phone at home. He was probably excited about our anniversary today. And yes he didn't make me wait for too long. He just called me up and said he wouldn’t be coming home tonight.

And then she texted on his phone...
