Betrayed


Do you want to know what my biggest fear regarding you is?

Do you want to know what I worry about the most when I look at you?

 

I’m terrified that I’ll find out that everything I thought about you has just been one big lie.

That you were never who I thought you were.

I would be absolutely crushed.

It would feel as if my whole world was crashing down right in front of me.

With no way to stop the inevitable destruction.

 

I would feel betrayed.

Betrayed by someone who has played such a huge role in my life.

Betrayed by someone wo would still consume my thoughts daily even if, one day, my worst fear became a reality.

Betrayed by someone who will always be a part of me no matter what happens.

 

I would never stop loving you, though.

I’m past that point.
