“You’re my world”
“I love you”
“You’re my reason for living”

Tears stream down my cheeks and fall from my chin as I read texts sent to me from another girl
Texts...from you.
Texts that I’ve read before because they were mine...ours.

No, they’re not our texts
They arent between me and you.
They’re between you and her.

Words and phrases that I thought were only said to each-other
Words and phrases that no longer held any meaning
Words and phrases that were all filled with lies

I read the texts over and over
Trying to find proof that these couldn’t possibly be from you to her
Deep down knowing that I’m being foolish and that these are indeed from you to her.

Did you mean all the phrases and words?
Or were they just that?
Phrases and words that held no real meaning.

I wonder how many times you said it to her while you were saying it to me?
I wonder how many times I crossed your mind while you were in the act of betraying me.
I wonder how many times you said it without meaning it....or wait, would it be easier to count the times you DID mean it?

Tear-drop by tear-drop
Phrase by phrase
Heartbreak by heartbreak

“You’re my world”
Just a phrase

“I love you”
Just a few words pieced together for destruction.

“You’re my reason for living”
Yet another phrase.
