Painful rejection, the way that you just gave me hope from a couple words. I knew to be better, but to fall for your breadcrumbs makes it even more devastating to deal with. Showing you the journal that I used to keep for your eyes once more was my biggest mistake. I won't be vulnerable again with you. You break my heart each time. I should know by now. Tired, very tired, so tired to deal with it. Dumb, so very dumb. Too dumb to listen to my brain instead of my heart. Forced to admit that I still feel some way, but I am the one standing in the ruins of our relationship. You left the house to burn with me in it; I couldn't bring myself to pull myself out of it. In the process, I am burned out. In the process, I am an idiot for hoping to still have you close to me. Six days until our anniversary. Six days until I can hopefully be free
