“You’ve become a shell of yourself since you started dating him and if you stay with him that’s going to be your life.”

I’ll meet you and you’ll ask me how long I’ll stay. With a plan in mind I’ll give you the answer.

“

Yes, you’ll feel like an awful person. That comes with the territory.

“

You’ll linger like a dying breath, and memories will cloud my mind of how wonderful our world used to be.
