Ambivalent
Dear Ex-Lover,
I️ love the way you walk
I️ love the way you talk
I️ love how you unknowingly command the attention of others when you step into a room
I️ love your smile
I️ love your humor
I️ love how you made my whole world stop when you looked at me
I️ loved spending time with you
I️ loved being happy with you
I️ loved how you would whisper sweet nothings that made me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world
I loved when you made me feel better on my worst days
I️ loved when I️ could look into your eyes and knew you loved me just as much as I️ love you
I️ loved how you made me think you were giving me your all
But...
I️ hate that you used me
I️ hate that you abused my love
I hate how you took my insecurities and made me feel less than a human being
I️ hate your smirk
I️ hate your anger
I️ hate how you blatantly disregarded my entire existence in front of others
I hated trying to defend you to my friends
I️ hated spending late nights waiting on a text or a call
I hated how even after all those lonely nights I️ still gave you my all
I hated when my whole world shattered to pieces when you just up and left
I️ hated when my hands started bleeding when I started picking up those pieces
I️ hated how after finally putting myself back together there are still cracks in places I️ just can’t seem to fix no matter how hard I️ try
I️ love that I️ can hate all these things about you
But I️ hate that I️ just can’t stop loving you
Sincerely,
Your Eternal Concubine
