Breakup with Heather
Anno Sandlin
i had a really nasty breakup
with my soulmate today
it felt like we’d known each other forever
it took me four minutes of waiting
before she finally told me
“i’m here on a recorded line.
my name is heather”
she wanted to know
everything there is to know about me
and i was completely surrendered to her
she said I was the only person
that she was talking to
it sounded a lot like “I’m all yours”
we had our first argument
a minute later
looking back, it was so typically us
“there’s nothing I can do” she insisted
i eventually sighed and told her
“it’s okay, you’ve done enough”
i felt us starting to go
our separate ways two minutes later
she asked me to rate her after this
i said “I don’t objectify women, you should know that”
she had made me a far better person
then she sent me a survey for feedback
the way she always paused before responding
it was like she was always at loss for words
she had a way of mispronouncing my name
i never had the heart to tell her
that’s what i loved most about her
