Drunk reels

Got a little intoxicated last night and sent my ex something I probably shouldn’t have.

I haven’t really been drinking for the past few months, but last night I got a little drunk and very in my feelings.
My ex and I still follow each other on Instagram and have been in minimal contact since it ended.

We’ll occasionally send each other a funny reel or something light but nothing emotional.
Last night I came across a really romantic, lovey dovey piece of poetry that basically summed up how I still feel about him, and I sent it to him.
He reacted to it with the sad/crying emoji.
This morning, once I was sober, I immediately felt like I had crossed a line.
I messaged him and apologized and basically said that I had been drinking, was in my feelings, and shouldn’t have sent something like that.
We’re both trying to heal and move forward, and I don’t think it’s fair for me to send him emotional things like that just because I’m having a moment.
His response was actually really kind. He told me I was being way too hard on myself, that there was nothing wrong with what I sent, and that he loves poetry.
I know this isn’t some huge dramatic breakup mistake, but I still woke up with that horrible “why did I do that?” feeling.
There’s obviously still a lot of love there, which is exactly why I think I need to be more careful. Being in minimal contact and occasionally sending something funny feels very different from sending something that basically says, “I’m still in love with you.”
So yeah. Apparently drunk texting has evolved into drunk poetry sending.
