isnt it scary how one person can have such a hold over you??
i wanted to sleep tonight but my mind wouldnt rest, so i went through all my text conversations from months ago.
ive long since deleted our text histories, along with your number. i wish i hadnt, i miss the cute things we said to each other when one of us was down
i honestly dont know where things stand with us. i dont know whether you hate me, or if you just think youre giving me space until im better. either way, youre not here and youre really the only person i want to talk to.
going through all of the texts made me realize how i fucked things up between us, over and over again.
i feel like alfred at the end of the dark knight rises
“I have failed you.”
i pushed you when you wanted me to pull you.
i pulled you closer when you needed space.
i blamed you when i should have thanked you.
so thank you, thank you for trying to protect me, thank you for wrapping me up in your arms when i thought the world would collapse.
thank you for looking at me and saying, “I don’t think I can help you anymore, I’m not good for you.”
oh and im sorry for throwing the glass when you said that, that was uncalled for
i realize now that you did care about me
i remembered the time when i tried to sneak back into the flat after being away for a couple of days and you heard me, came running and wrapped me up in your arms
i remembered after the first time i tried to leave, you didnt shout at me, you didnt curse me out, you just asked for a hug and refused to let me go
you were the best friend i could ever ask for and i am grateful everyday for the time i spent with you
i hope you find someone to make you the happiest man in the world, because you deserve it chicken
join me in the bar when its your time, we can have a drink and a catch up
dont take too long though

I wish I had a magic wand. I know all to well the pain of having become enmeshed with someone to the point your heart beats with their every breath. Then they decide it’s over. And you hit the wall dead on, full throttle. They get to walk away and put it behind them. And you get to bleed from the gaping hole where your heart was.
Forgive yourself. It’s too easy to punish yourself for losing them. They chose the consequences for you when they decided to walk away, not you. Maybe they just needed more space and now that they have it things might change. Allow yourself to grieve – it’s important to move through this, and if you don’t you will never move on. Not moving through the grief and pain is a slow death by poison. Believe me, I know.
It helps to keep writing. Write them letters you don’t intend to send. Writing helps keep feelings from being bottled up. And if you can, find someone you trust and let them listen; let them reflect. Taking care of yourself is important right now. I hope you can do that. The right person for you is out there, and taking care of yourself will help you to find them
– peace
