Call It What You Want

by Alissa DeRogatis

If I knew loving him would have hurt this badly, I would’ve never laid my eyes on him.

I was willing to settle for whatever he would give me, because a fraction of him was better than nothing at all.

Thank you for giving me a story to tell my future daughter one day when she is going through her first heartbreak.

Loving him is hard, but leaving would be harder.

I don’t want to spend the rest of my life thinking, Is this my great love story?, because I want more. I deserve more.
