My Better Half?

This last weekend I found myself alone in Boston. Virtually everyone I know was out of town, including Steve. With all the alone time I had on my hands I found myself doing stuff that I had been meaning to do for a while. I went for long runs, I went to a peace rally, and I also spent time watching movies I wouldn’t watch if Steve were around.

I got to thinking, would I be a better person if Steve weren’t in my life? Would I become more well rounded and fit? Would I watch more worldly movies and be more introspective?

I don’t know the answer to those questions but I do know I would be more lonely. It was weird going to a peace rally by myself. I just stood around for awhile then left because I felt awkward being alone in mass of people. There was no one for me to talk to about the movies I watched. I might be a different person if I wasn’t dating Steve, but that person might have to make up imaginary friends to fill her time.
