Three Words

3 words
"When I first met you the last words to cross your tongue were nice to meet you as you were once pleased by my presence. We began texting as one frequent text was I miss you those 3 three words often crossed my mind at the very mention of your name. We soon began dating the one couple the everyone quote unquote wanted to be. You soon shared the first I love you as those words slid off your tongue they raped my mind I felt as though I was required to say it back. Those three words slid off my tongue in response to your show of affection I never thought too much of sharing them with you because we quote unquote loved each other. Those three words soon became only two as you just began saying love you. I grew in fear of losing you I don't know why but the thought of being without you brought tears to my eyes as one my friends told me you're way too pretty to cry. She comforting me assuring me that I would never be alone. I soon realized that you were cheating with the very girl who's shoulder I would cry on. When I confronted you about it you simply confirmed it and shared three words with me I loved you. Those words raped my mind I tried to tell myself you weren't worth my time as my makeup was too expensive to cry. It took me weeks then one day my phone lit up as I read a text message consisted of three words I miss you my instinct was to respond the same as those raped my mind. Though I decided this time I wouldn't give in only three words crossed mind when your name was brought up I hate you." - Jaelin 2016
