a tale as old as sappho

Things were good a friends with benefits/dating relationship. The virus came about she was unemployed feared the virus might stop her from finding work and she had elderly parents to look after here. Her family was in IRAN where the pandemic was running famous. I was easy light hearted about the media and the virus. Turns out she was right!!! I don’t think she respected the fact that I didn’t take the news seriously pushing it aside like that of SARS and flesh eating bacteria. Two weeks into March noticed we were. It seeing each other. She text me back when I text her somber in response. The infatuation had died. Last text was me consoling her worries and her saying she needed space. That was a week ago. Not that our relationship is over but, definitely the Coronavirus stopped it from progressing. Or, left me in limbo. She has bigger worries and I was not one of them. It was a 4 month relationship.
