Life Beneath The Words At Play

Don't share it with him

Don't watch that movie with him.

Don't let him see your favorite show.

Don't dedicate the song to him.

Don't ruin everything for you.

That movie you love is now a reminder of him.

You ruined it.

You told him all about your favorite show. Now you can't watch it without thinking of him.

You ruined it.

Now your song is a crying anthem. You crave his touch and kisses each time you play it. Repeating in your head. The lyrics salt the open wound.

He ruined you.

Don't take him to your ice cream shop.

Now they all know him. That was your spot. Now it's his, too. Now, you have to share with someone who broke you apart and leaves you in the dark.

Still, you eat your ice cream watching the movie only he knew you liked with echoes of your song playing on repeat in your mind as you feel his kiss still linger on your lips.

Don't introduce him to the family.

Now he's stuck on their tongue. They liked him, so why would you let him leave. You're never going to find anyone better now. The next guy will always be compared to the last one.

Don't let your friends know all about him.

Now they make fun of you. Now, they still remind you of him. It's like he's still hanging out with them. His laugh is still in the foreground.

That new guy you like.

Don't let him in.

If you date him, he'll betray you too. If you leave now, it'll be too late anyway.

It's too late.

He's already ruined you.

This is partly inspired by true people and events. I wasn't dating the person, but people still bring them up to the one who was with them and is currently in a relationship with a new person. I also sprinkled in my own attachment issues for the extra spice just to give it a little extra kick in the end.
