Confess

by Colleen Hoover

I’m scared I’ll never stop comparing my life without him to how my life was when I was with him.

Some secrets should never turn into confessions. I know that better than anyone.

In order to be embarrassed, a person has to care about the opinions of others first.

When I’m with You, I Think of All the Great Things I Could Be If I Were Without You.”

I hope she does have a second fate. Because she deserves it.
