Why?


Dear ex-boyfriend,

 

It`s been nine months since we last spoke. Yet you continue to haunt my dreams as well as my thoughts. I need to forget you. Act as if you never existed;  that you were just a monster from a nightmare. However I cannot do that.

For a while, I conceived myself that I had gotten over you, thought I had moved on and I could finally get my confidence back, be myself again. I was wrong, I cannot. You destroyed what little confidence I had. You destroyed me. I loved you. I gave you everything; all for you to throw me away as if I was nothing but trash.

You told me you loved me, and we would be together forever; I believed you. So, why? Why did you do this to me? Was I not good enough for you? I trusted you.

There are so many questions I want to ask but I never will. That is likely for the best.
