A Bittersweet UnderstandingLOCATION: his apartment , Knoxville, TNYEAR: 2008TAGS: love, sadnessPUBLISHED: July 23, 2008I remember sitting on the floor beside him with our backs against the couch. I don't know why we weren't actually sitting on the couch. The ashtray was overflowing with our hand rolled cigarettes. It was early in the afternoon. We were at the bottom of a bottle of Travarsky's bought that morning as soon as the liquor store opened. It had just started to feel like summer outside. She had called earlier that afternoon to tell him she was bringing the baby over and that bitch (meaning me) had better not be there. To this day I still think it was unfair. They weren't and still aren't together. Whenever she finds out I have been around, she threatens to make it so he can't see his baby. We talked about it all, he and I. It was a sad moment and to top it all off we were listening to this Modest Mouse song. When we kissed I could taste both our tears. I am a selfish girl but I understood that the most important thing was his baby even though I knew he loved me and still does. We held each other for a long time until I had to leave so he could be alone when the baby and the mother arrived. I didn't want to make his life any harder than it already was.
