He loved me and I loved him. But sometimes love isn’t enough to put up with suffering.

12/23/15 - Andrew H.

I’ve spent the last three months falling head over heels for you. It was the first time that I was able to open my “heart” to someone, since I came out of the closet. It was such a weird experience for me. Anytime I spoke to you, my stomach fluttered. Anytime I saw you, I cracked a smile. I loved waking up next to you in the morning. I loved it when our fingers would twirl and interlock while we watched movies together. I loved feeling my head rise and fall as I rested on your chest. I spent the last three months of my life over a guy that easily destroyed my confidence. Whenever you said “I’m not physically attracted to you” or “you like me more than I like you,” I came up with excuses in my head. I repeatedly gave you the benefit of the doubt. I wanted “us” to be something so badly that I didn’t care about my own well-being.

It’s been only a week, but I still feel miserable inside. I see your Facebook posts, and I realize how much I actually miss you. I post snapchat stories, hoping for you to see them and snap me back. When I see you in public, I realize what we could have been. How could one person mess me up so much?

It’s time for me to move on, but I just don’t know how. The only thing holding me back is the fact that you told me you liked me. How can I move on when I think I still have a small, small (unrealistic) chance?

“Baby, come on don’t be like that. But you aren’t stupid. I’m just as stupid for stringing it on”

It’s been 3 years now and I still miss my best friend Marky. I’ve never showed these messages to anyone before, and I’m sure they’d explain a lot to Marky’s family, but I didn’t want to make it about me. The amount of respect I had had for him was always high, but it skyrocketed immeasurably after this day. He showed me what it means to be a man of your word, and to take life as it comes at you, for better or worse. The morning after these last texts, he was found dead. I’ll always love you, Mark.

This was the moment I realized my boyfriend was cheating on me. He accidentally sent me this message, meaning for it to go to the other girl. I just hope he’s happy with whatever he’s got. I know he loved me, but I couldn’t stay.

The Last Thing We Said

Him: hahahahahaaa

Him: come on

Me: what?

Him: I want you to bite me back.

Me: all I wanna do is just to make sure you know that I like you and for me, thats enough.

Me: bc I can't force you to be like me and I can't live with a state of mind as you have there.

Me: but I respect you and the way you think

Me: there's nothing left to discuss between you and me, unless you wanna talk about something else.
