You're right. You didn't cheat.
But sometimes I wish you would have.
I wish you would've just slept with another girl, and I wish I would catch you.
I knew you didn't like the way I looked, the way I dressed, the way I talked, the way I acted, you made that quite obvious. But you didn't cheat, and I held onto hope.
If you didn't want me, you would've left. If it wasn't worth it, you could've left. But you stayed.
That meant something to me. It meant a lot to me actually.
Despite your lies and your belittling remarks, I believed you loved me or you wanted to.
I suppose you could call me an idiot, I mean you have before, but this time I think I would agree. I wasn't blinded by love, because I saw all of the signs, however, it did make me ignorant.
I saw the way you would look at other girls, I saw the bikini pics you liked, I saw the notifications from your ex, I saw the disgust on your face when you remembered I was the girl you were dating.
I saw the way you rolled your eyes when I was upset, I saw the smirk tugging at your lips when you made me cry, I saw it all.
But you chose to stay, and I chose to be hopeful.
I knew it was over months before it ended. I just wanted to see if I could be who you wanted. I needed to wait it out, in case things went back to the way they used to be,
But I guess time doesn't heal all wounds.
Some things can't be fixed.
