I watched a movie with a man who looked just like you. And I was immediately entranced by the slope of his nose and his circular glasses and the way they rested on them. He was lanky and a bit awkward in the charming adorable way.

He was pining over a girl who hadn't left his mind since college even though at the time he never took his chances to do anything about it. I am still hoping you'll take your chances with me now while you still have two years but if not, will you think of me after?

He was geeky, smart, and determined, and someone you'd never expect to hurt you. Except he would. He harbored horrible, unforgivable secrets that he saw little wrong in. He shattered my heart in ways I wasn't expecting. And the worse part was I was waiting for him to be better. I wanted him to be better.

I know better of you, and I believe you are on no levels of his wrongs. I guess what I am saying is, I tried to find a love in someone who wasn't you. He wasn't you, and yet he broke my heart all the same. It was like hurting for you all over again.
