He gets up, gets ready, and leaves without a second glance.

Hoping he\u2019ll look at me the way he used to, with admiration, with desire. But his eyes don\u2019t linger on me anymore. I talk to him, but his responses are short, as if he\u2019s just waiting for the conversation to end.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"1136\">I don\u2019t know when we stopped being partners and became just two people coexisting. The loneliness is unbearable. I miss the way he used to hold me, the way he\u2019d listen when I spoke, as if every word mattered.
