"He called you beautiful, didn’t he? Told you that there would never be a girl like you who could..."

“He called you beautiful, didn’t he? Told you

that there would never be a girl like you who could

have this effect on him. And you believed him, didn’t you?

Looked past the truth because in the end, we all just want to be

someone’s everything. When he took you out, he tied you

around his arm. He made you feel as if he was saying,

”Look. Look at this girl, this woman, this everything

I have ever wanted and received.” It made you feel special,

made you feel above everyone who didn’t belong to him.

You can say that you did, that’s okay that was the point.

That was his intension all along. But tell me, when those months

passed and you could feel his once tight grip around your love

loosening, did you still feel above the rest? Or did you blame

it all on the time changing and not on the certainty of it all?

That this is what he does. Builds a home inside of someone

whose only hope is focused on forever while his is only focused

on how much he can consume before he gets too full and cannot

finish what he started. When was it that you started noticing his

inevitable distance? When he hardly replied to your texts?

When he promised to call you back but got side-tracked

instead? Or was it when he started treating you

like a chore and not what you really are, which is a priority.

When he stopped taking you out as often as he did before,

pushed you out of the center of his universe, did you create

an excuse for your heart because you were not yet ready

to let it down from the reality of it all? The fact is that what

once made you feel so secure is now going to be

the most dangerous thing for you. But right now is the time

to accept the harsh truth, and now is the time to show your heart

that not everyone is sincere as they seem. So do for your heart

what he never could and give it closure. Give it freedom.

Give it everything it deserves, and everything that he could

never keep up with. Show your heart that there is still love

beyond this world that you built with him. That there is still

something worth fighting for, even if that means

that it is no longer going to be fighting for him.”
