Here I am again. More heartbroken than before.
I guess this has become my safe space to write. Last time I was going through this pain, I never imagined that the next one would be so much more painful. I look back on the posts of us first meeting. You were hot, you were hilarious, but you just werenât the one I loved. At the time. You could never be him in my eyes. You became something so much more. You were the first true love of my life. You were the first one to ever love me back. You saw my darkest times, you knew what I went through in the past wasnât going to make this an easy relationship. You were the one who showed interest first. When I was crying over the relationship before you, youâre the one who held me and asked if I could give you my heart and if I could focus on you. You held me and told me that you were there. I eventually let him go, but not completely. I could focus on you, and in time I came to really fall for you. I remember how protective of me you were. I always had to text you to let you know I made it home safe. You were always asking when I could come over and be with you. I remember when you first asked me if I loved you. I told you I did. You told me you didnât love me yet, but you were getting there. I remember when you did tell me that you did love me. I was crying, you told me âeverything is going to be alright. You know why? Because I love my babygirl too.â I think I just about died right there in your arms of happiness. He was completely gone from my heart and my mind. We had some rough patches, and it ultimately led to trust issues on my end, and depression. You donât know how much it hurt and that the reason I was crying and so scared of leaving each time was that I was so scared you were going to see somebody else and that you would just not want me anymore. Ultimately it became a habit, and I just craved that attention so much because I didnât feel it as much as I did in the beginning. You were my first in so many things. First one I brought home for thanksgiving and christmas, first one I got a card picture with, and your sisters wedding. I knew on that day that I wanted to someday marry you. Only problem is that you were very much against it. I had a hard time accepting it. It led to more depression, and I could see that it was also affecting you, so I got help. I saw a therapist, I eventually got admitted to a psych hospital so I could get started on some anti depressants, and you were there with me every step of the way. You came to visit me every single day to let me know how proud of me you were and that it was all going to be ok. It was a fresh start.Â
Iâll never in a million years forgive myself for ruining that fresh start. I thought we were getting so much better. You said that you did want to marry me and live together. You gave me a promise ring and told me to start planning in a few months. I couldnât control my emotions, and even though I had underlying causes for that and an explanation of all the crying spells, I can still never forgive myself. I brokedown for a breif few days when I told you I wanted kids and you didnât. I accepted that we wouldnât, and that it was only a phase. As long as we had forever together, I would be happy. I donât know what went wrong. I donât know what happened, and I wish so much that I could know, so I could fix it. I wish it never had to end the way it did. I remember when your family became too overwhelming for me, I was crying and telling you I couldnât do it anymore. You, the guy who never cries, had tears streaming down your face. Iâm sorry for hurting you so much. I know my depression ultimately led to your depressed state to where you can no longer love me. I know our time spent together was filled with memories of depression and a few suicide threats, but I genuinely promise you with all my heart that I was getting so much better. I felt pure happiness and no longer felt the cloud of depression the days before you first broke up with me over text. That was a pain like no other. You gave me another chance and because I came close to a fatal brain injury, it caused you to lose any love you had left for me because of some bad choices. Ultimately, we decided to try again and you just texted me the 3rd breakup, the day after I found out that we were going to have a baby. We were both scared shitless. I was scared because I knew you would be furious with me. We ultimately sat down and talked. You said you would be there for me through it all and that in time you would fall in love with me again. I thought I had a miscarriage, I said I needed you. I was greiving very heavily. You told me dungeons and dragons was more important, and that was the worst feeling in the world. Iâve been beat by a guy that resulted in a miscarriage, and this was still far more painful. I had never felt so alone, I felt like I lost everything and that you werenât keeping your word. I did get a little on the dark side, but I just wish you understood what was going on in my world and in my heart in that moment. I never meant goodbye as in ending my life. I meant goodbye as in I felt you no longer cared for me and that I didnât even have our child anymore, so you would want nothing to do with me.Â
Fortunately, I didnât have a miscarriage. Iâm still having your demon spawn that is keeping me sick all day everyday, and the only reason you still talk to me is because of it. Iâm still scared. I still need you more and more everyday. You say youâve moved on, but I just donât understand how you can claim to love someone and then suddenly decide that theyâre the most worthless thing in the world to you. You told me that if I couldnât make it to term, youâre still done with me. Youâve become so cold and so heartless and Iâm crying myself to sleep nearly every night remembering how much you used to love me and protect me. I canât even have a hug from you anymore.Â
Iâd give anything to be back in your arms hearing how much daddy loves me, sleeping next to you again and laughing at you talking about 100 chickens in your sleep, cuddling up and watching whatever show we were binge watching, or watching you play your games and just dozing off in daddyâs arms, having you bite me in the heat of our moments and being able to see the bruises and knowing Iâm only yours, looking at the future and having a reason to to be happy knowing that Iâd be with you forever. Iâd give anything in the world. Iâd invent a time machine and go back and let you know how lucky and loved I felt instead of being so sad all the time. Iâd give anything to be back in New Braunfels together. Just the two of us, escaping from the world back home and having some much needed quality âusâ time. Iâd give anything to be back around your family hearing how perfect we are together and beaming from ear to ear knowing that I hit the jackpot with you. Iâd give anything for those goodnight and I love you texts when we werenât spending the night together. If I had another chance, I would make sure you were the happiest person in the world. I would never let you down again. I would have 0 reasons to be depressed because I would have the only love of my life back. I would only make it better for you, I would focus only on you and be happy doing so. Iâd buy you all the things in the world and more because I know how happy it makes you. The only reason I ask for the switch back is because Iâve lost everything, and that unfortunately means the job I loved so much as well. Iâm very broke and down on my luck, trying to get back up again. Itâs hard to do without you. I need you, I love you, and I care about you more than youâll ever know. I just wish you could in time feel the same way again. I would never again let you down if you did. Iâd be far too happy, with or without the kid. My heart is beyond shattered without you. You always told me that weâll be ok. You used to tell me that I was your world, that you loved me more than Iâll ever know, that youâll never stop loving me. I would do ANYTHING to hear those words again. Anything...Â
You were the most amazing daddy and ultimately love of my life that one could ever ask for. We had some falling outs, we both made some mistakes, but I was able to forgive you because the love I had for you outweighed anything. You always knew how to make me laugh, how to calm me down, how to love and protect me. If there was even the slightest hope of you being able to find it in your heart again, I would be happy always and forever and I would NEVER again think of hurting myself or you. With you, I had all the happiness in the world. Still, Iâm going to continue to make you happy and hope that youâll be able to let me back into your heart and remember what we had, and only know that itâs going to get better and stronger. Whatâs a year of rocky paths compared to a lifetime of love, strength, trust and happiness? Iâm still holding onto that hope. Iâm still holding onto that ring. Maybe it isnât the healthiest thing to do, but I only do it because I see so much potential in our future. We were unstoppable, it was us against the world, we were living a fairy tale, and we can still have that happy ending together. Youâre always going to be in my heart and Iâll long to be in yours probably my whole life.Â
Your daughter loves you too. She actually let me eat tonight. She knows how sad mommy is about daddy, sheâs tried to get away a few times and I couldnât bear it if I lost her too. Youâll never even see this, so I donât think youâll feel guilt. But she feels it. Small as she may be, she feels the stress, the resentment, and the hatred. I let her know tonight that it might just be me and her, but that I wouldnât let anything happen to her. That sheâs very much wanted and that she will be so loved, even if itâs just by me. She felt relief and she let me eat for the first time in nearly a week. Iâm scared to even talk to you anymore, but I keep thinking of the name Desiree. Look at the first part of it, itâs your alter ego. I looked up the meaning of the name, and it means âso long hoped for.â Iâd say itâs pretty fitting.Â
She needs you, but I need you more. Itâs almost 7 in the morning and Iâve been up crying, looking at pictures and texts, reflecting on what we had, and just missing you more than words could ever say. I could be over emotional because my computer crashed and I just donât think I can handle losing anything else. Iâd give up so much, I would probably no longer even feel the depression, and Iâd be the happiest person in the world if I could just hear those words again and go back to those times. I love you always and forever daddy </3Â
-Your babygirl who very much needs to be in daddyâs heart again. Â
