How to Break A Heart

April 22, 2013

Tell her you love her. Go ahead. Do it. Tell her ten times a day. A hundred times. Until she believes it. You’ll know because she’ll cry at the idea of losing you. Buy her jewelry from JC Penny’s then tell her it’s from Adair’s. And it cost three hundred dollars and those diamonds are real. And you love her. Tell her you love her. Then ask her to give you everything. Ask her and beg her. Until she does. Then tell her it wasn’t enough and you never really loved her and it was all a joke. Then walk away and ignore the tears Running down her cheeks. That will break her heart.
