xxx-xxx-xxx

Hey Liv
Hope you're doing well, been
Thinking of you lately

Michael?
What do you want
Yk we're done.

I know I know
Just wanted to see how
You're doing, we had some
good times yk

Good times? You cheated on me Michael
Don't pretend it was all sunshine and rainbows

Wth did I do wrong huh?
You're always so perfect Liv
I was stressed and made a mistake
get over it.

Get over it? You broke my trust and heart
Now you're acting like I'M the one who
wronged you??

You're always so dramatic
It was a simple mistake
You're still hung up on it huh?

No, I've moved on. I'm happy now
And it's because of someone who treats me
So much better than you ever did

You were mine before
the bitch you're with now
you'll come crawling back when
they leave you for someone better

I was never yours
You never truly had me and I'm grateful for that now

So you think you're better now? With your new little toy?

I don't think I'm better than you
I know I deserve better thank you and I've found it

You're just mad because I've moved on too
I'm happy now without you

That's great
I'm glad you found someone else to manipulate and cheat on
Leave me alone.

Manipulate and cheat on? You're one to talk you're probably with that mf just to get action

Are you dumb?
I'd never cheat or manipulate anybody
and I don't need any "action" asshole
And at least my partner respects me and treats me amazing

Respects you? They must've been desperate

That's not true because I know them and they're never going to be like you

You'll see soon
You'll come crawling back to me when you realize you're not as happy as you claim you are

You're delusional if you think I'm getting back with you
I'm finally free from your toxicity
I don't plan on going back, not anymore

Fine
But know this isn't over, I'm not giving up on us.
We're not over yet.

Yes we are
I hope your delusion gets cured
Don't contact me again
