He is the most unpredictable, obnoxious, self-centered human being I have ever known. He was my best friend before we were together. He used to make my heart race,
he made me nervous. Sometimes I try and talk to him, and I'll open my mouth - but nothing will come out. He completely captured my heart. It took me by surprise.
I was in no shape or form ready for a relationship. My wounds were still fresh, my scars could open at the slightest touch.
It all moved so fast, like a whirlwind of love. He knocked me off my feet and told me things I should've known better than to believe. I was so important to him at one point,
or at least he let me believe so. He made me feel on top of the world, special - different somehow. Like I was unlike anyone he had ever met. I felt invincible, like I had it all
and there was no way it would slip through my fingers.
I let myself love him. I fell so hard and so fast, my heart cannot contain my love for this human being. He drives me crazy, and he is a goof ball, but he is mine - or at least
I thought so.
He always reminds me how I am such a negative person, which I might be - but I feel I have the right. Everything I have ever known about love turned out to be a lie.
Why would it be any different this time? I tried to convince myself somehow it was, but like every other relationship of mine - things began to change.
I started feeling inadequate - like I wasn't enough for him. I have to remind myself everyday that I know it isn't true. I know I am loved. I know there is someone out
there in this God forsaken world who will love me despite my flaws, in fact he will love me for my flaws.
I have this habit of believing "this is the one," but then again he didn't help it either. Always talking about marriage and things like that. He wanted me to meet his
family before we even started dating. I know it should've been some flag of some sort, like hey this guy already feels this way about you, how does he feel about
other girls?
Last night we got into a fight and he slept on the couch. He came into the bedroom at six in the morning, rambling about making some skatepark in
town. He went on to talk about how he doesn't know what he would do without me. That I spoil him, and who would make him cookies and all this nonsense.
I think I've known. I just don't let myself let go. I keep making excuses for people because I love them so much. I am replaceable to him. I am nothing special.
I am just another notch in his bedpost.
I feel like breaking down. I can't believe I let myself do this again. How do people do this? How do they go all their lives falling for all the wrong people and they
just proceed to get back up, dust it off, and love again?
I can't. I'm so done. I don't want this anymore. I want real. I want authenticity and sincerity, and most importantly I want love.
