This memory will always stick with me. It's in this moment where I felt alone for the very last time in two years. I will move in with Rusty. He will make me pour over coffee every morning. I will fall asleep on his lap watching reruns of ninety sitcoms. We will fight occasionally, and then it will become more frequent. One of our arguments will escalate and we will break up, but it won't last long, and everything will go back to the way it was. We will eventually start having less sex, but it won't matter because we just like being around each other, talking to each other, sitting in each other's silence. He will eventually go before me, and I will miss him. I will cry every day, and after a while, I won't cry as much because I will remember this moment and play it again in my head, because even without him, I am not alone. In this moment, I am sitting on top of Los Angeles and I see everyone. I hear all of the people who are going through it, just like me, who have been through the hurt.
