I thought I was the one, until I saw the wedding ring on her hand and realized I was the other one. I kept blaming myself, tearing my own heart apart for a love I never knew was borrowed. Later that day, I wrote her a letter — not with anger, but with shame. She replied, “It’s not your fault, dear.” And for the first time, I realized it was never my fault. It was you who knew the script.
