Reply to: Bruises From You


Was I overreacting?
Is it really that bad?
He didn't mean to hurt me.
Should I even be mad?
He didn't mean to hurt me.
I won't tell anyone.
He really loves me.
I don't want him to be sad.
Maybe I should forget it ever happened.
He didn't mean to hurt me.
I forgive him.
Why am I still nervous?
He didn't mean to hurt me.
He said he will listen next time.
He won't hurt me again.
He said he loves me
And he didn't mean to hurt me.
The bruises will fade.
The skin will heal.
I will forget the pain he made me feel.
Because
He won't hurt me again.
He promised.
