Wild is the Wind

105.

"I never doubted him. I believed every single thing he told me. I truly believed that we would last forever, that we were soulmates. I believed him when he said I was his one and only, and that he wanted to marry me. I believed him when we were making cliche plans for a future together. I would have done anything for him. I can't believe in true love anymore. I know what we had was real at one point, but it's not anymore. I can't let myself get that close to someone again; and then have them destroy my heart into a million tiny pieces. I gave him my everything, he knew me inside and out. And now we are strangers. It hurts so bad, more than I thought was humanly possible.

However, although he broke my heart, I have realized something. I can be great on my own as well. I need to learn to love myself independently. And most importantly, I did not lose him. He lost me, because I loved him with every piece of my soul, I would have done anything for him, and he dropped that like it was nothing. He lost me."
