What a Smile Can Say

If you really want to know what a sane conversation between exes sounds like, this is how it goes.  I did edit names and places.  This is the sanest person I have ever met.

3xE: hah! you do exist!
EverSmile: hello married lady.
3xE: hello
EverSmile: i heard that you got married.
3xE: yeah. you'd be proud. he accepts the crazy and everything
EverSmile: oh.
that's great!
but kind of sad for me
i guess i already had my chance
3xE: nah, you wouldn't want me now. you know i got diagnosed as bipolar?
it's no surprise, but sucks all the same.
EverSmile: oh
i knew all along
it's okay, most women have bipolarness
3xE: well, i would like to apologize for being a nutcase. i should have been nicer to you.
EverSmile: thank you. i liked you anyway, and still do.
3xE: aww, that's sweet. i still think fondly of you
EverSmile: you thought fondly of me in the beginning?
3xE: i thought of you the other day. a friend was talking about battlebots
always have
EverSmile: hahahah
battlebots...
my old love
hey, remember that picture of you with a black eye?
3xE: yeah
EverSmile: i still have it, i saw it when i moved about a month ago
it's pretty cool
3xE: i was wondering what happened with that
i thought i threw it away. i threw away an entire box of photos one night.
EverSmile: awwww =

3xE: it happens
it was a bad time when i did it, and i wanted to start over.

3xE: that's great.
