SHE LEFT
I realized I held on to her for too long.
She was every toxic thing I didn’t want in my life.
She came in as the most beautiful and toxic person at the same time.
I was vulnerable and needed love.
I also felt like I needed acceptance, so all I did was prove myself worthy.
One question I did not ask.
I did not ask if she was worthy of everything I had to offer.
Would she embrace my faults and weakness?
Would she accept my past mistakes and the need to become a different mold?
I didn’t.
I wanted to be with her.
I wanted to marry her and have kids with her.
Everything seemed promising and perfect until we moved in together.
She wanted to control everything.
My finances, the bills, my social media.
She wanted to know where I was and what I was doing.
She told me she was hurt, and I won’t be the one who got away.
I didn’t want to get away
