WHEN A MAN TRULY LOVES YOU (short story)
The type of suffering I endured could be likened to World War II or the Holocaust.
A pandemic is an understatement. Heart breaks cause every part of your body to hurt. Your eyes cry, your heart bleeds, your head hurts, suddenly you are hungry and you keep eating for comfort.
Other times, you are not hungry and starve till you have ulcers. It’s not even a twenty one day fast, but you feel like you are dying.
This was how I felt when I got jilted again.
He ghosted me.
The worst part was, we had moved in together, and started making so many joint plans. One day I came home from an exhausting eight hours of work, meetings and projects to an empty house. He cleaned out the house, taking with him furniture, the expensive TV and the bed.
It would have been better if he took the clothes he had on his back when we first met, instead he decided to make my home a house. I almost dialed 911 in panic when I walked in, but instead there was a note on the table.
“I deserve better, I can’t do this anymore. Love Darius,”
What did he mean by, “he deserved better?”
