I don’t exactly recall how long it’s been. It’s been long enough for my heart to ache more than it should. He left to another girl, while I am quietly waiting in the shadows for him to return to me once again. Although I know that will never happen. Sometimes I find myself not thinking about him, and I am happy for myself. Then he messages me, or I find a picture of him, see his favorite song on Youtube, see a show or movie he’s watched..and the aching continues. I don’t want to feel like I am tying myself down to a man who’s not even mine. Clearly he’s moved on. I am still here. I don’t want to be. Help?
