Quote by John Green

This is why we call people exes, I guess -- because the paths that cross in the middle end up separating at the end. It's too easy to see an X as a cross-out. It's not, because there's no way to cross out something like that. The X is a diagram of two paths.

This is why we call people exes, I guess -- because the path

Summary

The quote implies that the term "exes" is used to describe former romantic partners because the paths that once converged eventually diverge. The comparison is made to the letter "X," which can represent a crossing out but cannot erase or completely eliminate the past. Instead, it symbolizes two intersecting paths that have now separated. The quote suggests that relationships cannot simply be eradicated but rather represent a shared journey that later diverges.

We both grew so used to each other, so comfortable with the naturalness and ease of our friendship, that we became sloppy about keeping our relationship a secret. It was not that we were physically demonstrative or obviously in love, more that it had become impossible for us to hide our close involvement. We had gradually acquired the unmistakable air of old-love: finishing each other's sentences and speaking to each other with an offhand, presuming intimacy that was eventually noticed.
