I was letting myself fall entirely for someone who was only half mine. Half-there. Half-loving. You were half-everything.

“

And we all — all of us — think about our exes.

“

I’m not your victim. I’m not the result of your mistakes.

“

I will never tell you that I have feelings for you. I am not the type of woman that falls easily, but you made it so easy for me to fall for you.

“

My heart remembers all of the good, but chooses to forget all of the bad.

“

Maybe I was fooled by your sensitive, open-minded, sweet guy game, but I seriously thought you would be willing to cross that racial threshold for romance’s sake.

“

The time I had once spent talking with you I suddenly had to fill, and nothing was enough. 

“

As I head into the new year, so many things come to an end.

I wanted you to see me when you looked at me, instead of just a reflection of yourself. A tangible representation of what you created. A living, breathing, flawed human woman.

“

You want to give someone else a chance but the thought of kissing someone new seems so unpleasant and scary.
