TO THE GIRL WHO LOVES HIM NEXT
he will seem perfect in the beginning. he will say all the right things, bring you flowers when you least expect it. he will do everything you’ve only ever dreamt about. but it won’t last. he will change on a dime, leaving you to wonder what you did to ruin everything. i’m telling you now, you did nothing. he was destined to destroy you from the start.
he will tell you he loves you and when he does your heart will feel more full than it ever has. there will be days when he makes you feel so loved that you will ignore all the times he hurts you. don’t. when he starts cancelling plans last minute, leave. when he stops telling you that you’re beautiful, leave. when you ignores you for hours on end, leave. save your heart. you deserve more.
this man is going to come into your life and change it in ways i can’t even describe. he will hold you while you cry, then spend other days ignoring that he’s the reason for the tears. he will say he loves you, but never show it. i know how good he may seem but please, when you fall in love with him be smarter than i was and get out before he tears your life into pieces.
to the girl who loves him next. don’t.
4am
You see her. 10 years from now. She has a ring on her finger and a small child attached to her hip. All of the air is suddenly sucked out of you and your insides begin to feel queasy and the lunch you just had is no longer settling well. You blink, praying it’s a simple mind game. It’s not. She offers you a grin and her only free hand to shake. You take it and begin to wonder what went wrong all those years ago and what happened to all those empty promises that the two of you made. You had sworn you would be the one to give her all those things, but you weren’t. Her husband comes up behind her, placing a protective hand on her shoulder as she introduces you as an old friend. That label eats away at your insides as you realize that’s all you are to her now. Just another diminishing memory.

Call me cruel, but so were you.
“It fucking hurt when you left me and pretended like everything we had meant nothing, but I’d go through it again if it meant I got to spend more time with you.”
