Every time I heard clicking sounds of heels or any sound that comes with some kind of gold-digger money, I kind of hoped it would be her. I created this whole little scenario of what she would do to beg me to forgive her for leaving me and dad. But she never came back.

You know that narcissus guy in that greek myth? I've always felt like him. Just gazing at my reflection. Not because I thought I was good looking ha! I just kept trying to find something wrong with me. Something that I could use to get her to hate me and leave me.

I really wanted to tell this story. The story of us, of me, of you, of the days when we were actually happy. I'm so sorry that all I can do is remember the pain? I've forgotten what it feels like to be happy. To smile reflexively...it's so foreign to me.

I didn't f*cking care who knew. I didn't care to tell anyone. But I just wanted you to see and acknowledge how much I couldn't get you out of my head. Is this an obsession? No! It's a confession. A f*cking confession that I just can't stop thinking about you and I don't know why?! Only you can tell me. Is this what it means to be in love with someone?
