When I first heard of you being with her, I didn't bother myself so much. I didn't think much about it because I knew it was never going to be me. I told myself, "You don't have the right to get hurt because there was never anything between you." Five months after that news, we were both in a party hosted by a common friend and the universe, with all its funny jokes, made it happen so that I was sitting right in front of you, with her next to you. Looking at you both, it hurt me so much. I told myself, "I'm lying to myself because I knew there was something between us before there was a him and her." I couldn't look you in the eyes. It was the saddest party I ever went to.

The first time I admitted to myself that it actually hurt.
