Only if I get to make the rules <| sep |> I had just broken up with my girlfriend over the phone . During the end of our relationship , I fought with every ounce of my strength and life to keep it going . In the end , the investment was one way and she just kept drifting away from me . After we hung up , I walked home accepting what had just happened and felt okay . After I came home , I told my mom . She hugged me and said , You fought well , my son . I just fell to the ground and lost it . There was some wailing and deep crying . However , things have been absolutely great with my ex ! We are still best friends we were very close friends before our relationship . We broke up a year and a half ago , and we just enjoyed having dinner with one another last night . It was wonderful !
