Letter to My Ex – #1

You made me love you. You walked into my life and without warning you stole my heart. I didn’t mind because you treated it so well. Better than anyone has ever treated it and I had faith that you would keep it safe. You assured me that you wouldn’t hurt me; all you wanted was the best for me. I believed you. I let myself love you with no restriction, even worse I allowed my son to love you too. You told me it was ok that you would never hurt us. I believed you. I have trust issues. You know all of the stories. You listened to all of my hurt and cursed them for being so cruel when all I have to offer is love. You said that you would never be them. I believed you. What you didn’t tell me was that all it would take is for the next woman to come along and claim you. You didn’t tell me that someone else’s kiss could take you away. I BELIEVED YOU.

You said you never wanted to lose me that you wanted to be there forever. You said no one compared to me. You made me feel safe and I believed you. But now?! Now you’re a liar. You’re just like the rest. You took my hear t and you made it melt for you, made it bend and mold just for you and then you shattered it on the ground with one swift blow. Because of you I have to explain to a little boy why his favorite person is no longer around. Because of you I can’t breathe. Because of you I have to remember how to do things that I was doing without you, before you. I hope you never do this again. Never let a woman love you unless you’re going to love her back and REALLY love her back. Never make a woman feel irreplaceable when she isn’t. I’d never assault your character to your face because sadly I care about your feelings. I don’t want to hurt you despite all of the hurt I feel. She will never love you as much as I do, as much as I can. If for some reason one day you find yourself missing me and you want to reach out to me. Don’t. Chances are I finally managed to mend my heart and you deciding to come around will only leave me undone.

I wish you well, sir.
