Today is my ex's birthday. I never marked it on the calendar but my body remembers. Last year I baked a cake. It was not very good but he was happy. We blew out the candles together. This year I cannot do anything. I open the message screen close it open it again. "Happy birthday." Just nine characters feel impossibly heavy. If I send it he will think I still have feelings. If I do not he will think I am cold. But really I do not care what he thinks. I just want to wish him happiness. In the end I sent nothing and the date changed. I whispered in my heart hoping he is smiling somewhere on the other side of the screen. A blessing that reaches no one quietly fades inside my chest.
