HE BROKE UP WITH
YOU, RIGHT?
After telling you he loved you, and calling you
pet names like baby and cutie? Yeah, I know he
lavished you with in compliments, only to put himself down so you
would stroke his fakely low
ego. Did he tell you that you were beautiful? I bet he promised
you a personalized song. Or
maybe he'd always mention how he was lying in bed and wished
you were there. He dragged
"I love you" out of you, didn't he? Yeah, don't
deny it. He would talk to you last thing at night
and first thing in the morning. He constantly mentioned losing
sleep over you, every night,
but we both know he slept like a rock. He made you love pictures
that were just sort of "bleh"
before. Did you delete those pictures after he broke your heart?
Yeah, me too. All of your
friends hate him now, don't they? Remember how happy they
were for you? They warned
you. Just remember, it's okay to cry. And referring to him as
an "a s s h o l e" is perfectly
expected. Because, believe me, you'll end up talking about
him just as often, if not more, than
the break up. There will be the "one times," and the
"I remembers," and once you think
you're over him, watch out. You better keep your eyes closed
in the hallways, because I
promise you, the next time you see him, he'll be all over
some other chick that popped into
his life. A little part of you will want to warn her, but nobody
will blame you for hating her
and blaming her for your pain. Yeah, you'll compare all guys
to him, because aside from the
man-whorish, heart-breaker thing, he was perfect. He was
everything you had ever
wanted. Or maybe you made that up. Maybe, the second he started
showing interest, you
made up this perfect guy in your head, and he just happened to be
just like him. Listen,
you will find the perfect guy for you just like everybody says
you will, and it will be soon.
Okay, so I didn't believe it either, but I'm starting to.
The most important thing though
is don't let him know he hurt you. Don't let him know he
could have you back in a heart
beat. Don't give him that satisfaction. Make him think
you're completely happy. When
he decides to wave at you like nothing ever happened, wave back.
But don't smile.
Make him think he meant as little to you, as you obviously meant
to him.
