I Couldn't Make You Love Me

Ania

I sat on the side of the road, scrolling through our pictures. We looked so happy...but I guess he wasn't. He didn't mean any of it. He didn't mean it when he said he loved me. I hate how I fell for him.

DING

"What does he want?" I asked myself.

From: Prince🤴🏾
I'm sorry, I really am. Can we at least be friends?

I sighed with anger and sadness. I typed out No, you're not sorry. Why? Because I know you, or, at least I thought I did. I dunno if I can even forgive you for what you did. I'll let you know when we can be friends. And sent it.

From: Prince🤴🏾
Okay, I understand. I just want you to know that I didn't want it to be this way. I really wanted to be with you. But my family...you know...they're gold diggers. You have to know they forced me into us.

From: Me
So you didn't even want to be with me?

From: Prince🤴🏾
No! I didn't want to use you. They made me do that.

I closed my eyes and rubbed my forehead.

From: Prince🤴🏾
I wanted us to be happy, Ania. I wanted you to be happy. Please don't make this any worse than it already is.

From: Me
I won't...but you already have. I'm done with you, Prince. I wish it didn't have to be like this.

I closed my phone and stood up. I heard another DING but did nothing. I didn't want to think about him. I couldn't make him love me and that's not my fault. If he never loved me, why should I try to force that on him? I started walking home in the pouring rain and washed away all I had left for Prince.
