ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER
The Devoted One
There’s been no visit. No phone call. Not even a text or e-mail. Of course it had been less than twenty-four hours since the incident, but the longer things went on, the less likely it was that there would be any contact.
You do nice things for someone, try to show them how you feel and make them feel special, and what do you get in return? Taken for granted and dumped, that’s what.
It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t right.
No one should have to put up with this kind of treatment, to be taken for granted like this.
But people appreciate things more when they no longer have them, don’t they? Sure. That’s where that old saying “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” came from. Maybe the only thing needed to bring the two of them back together was a little time apart.
It was worth a try.
