Alone Again

I ended things with my long-term partner last week... We had been together for years, but recently he wanted more freedom than I was willing to give. He felt trapped, and I guess I felt too controlling... It was a slow breakup, not an explosion of shouting or accusations. Just quiet dinners out and awkward conversations. Now I'm back home, alone with all these memories... The bed is so big now, and everything reminds me of him. I went out last night hoping to meet someone new, but ended up drinking too much and crying in a dark corner... Maybe it's time for something different...?
