I wanted to rip your name off my tongue, it no longer tasted sweet. It was expired and replenishable to another girl rain-checked in line. I didn’t fight back, I let them claim their prize. Every girl needs a you in their life, a man to flood her thoughts every second of everyday, a man to teach them that loving someone who doesn’t love them back is painfully repulsive. It had to be real? because who could love someone, and keep loving them without being loved back? Me. It hurt too much to be anything else… it burned my heart to see you love someone else who wasn’t me. It made me braver, it made me stronger, it made me realize that sometimes love is letting go, yet your heart is wanting to be stitched back up. The choice was once mine, before losing became my loss, I was there, but then I was forgotten, only to be rephrased of who I was to you
