Dear Ex,
It’s been over 2 years since you broke up with me out of the blue. As much as I want to forget you, I remember everything about you. You’re the reason I refuse to let anyone get too close to me; the reason I refuse to love again. It hurts me still because I don’t think I’ll ever be able to love that confidently and comfortably ever.
I see you’re doing well though, and that’s what I told you I always wanted. I don’t miss you, and I don’t want you around ever again, but it’s like I carry a piece of you in every of my “what ifs.”
The pain of it all still lingers; it still finds its way back to my mind. And though I’m not sad anymore, and haven’t been for a long time, I still wish you would’ve left me alone.
