*Joe's P.O.V. Two months later*

There's a girl I've had my mind on for the past two months.

I'm sorry I text her for the 1000th time.

It's okay. She responds almost immediately.

U sure? I ask.

Yes. She responds 4 minutes later.

Ok. I text.

Don't worry. She replies 1 hour later.

I can't stop thinking about her... And who she's with. The fact that she is with him and I can tell that she isn't happy makes me want to save her from that relationship that much more.

But I guess she's in love with him, after all they've known each other since secondary school.

Sometimes I look at her Instagram profile to see if anything has happened since then just to make sure she's okay.

His name is Ian apparently. He is a bigger muscular guy compared to scrawny old me.

She looks at him with this glazed over look. I can tell she's distant from him. It's something.

I've texted her multiple times but I rarely get a response. I once decided to text her:

Hey Y/N, I know we had our little breakup but I do hope you forgive me. I shouldn't have acted the way I did before and I'm sorry.

They say if you really love someone, let them go. If they come back, then they're yours. I'm working on the first part and hoping the second happens faster.

There are five stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Denial of losing the person you may have once loved. Anger at that person. Bargaining to try and earn their love back or bargaining with other people. Depression, the longest of them all. Acceptance of letting go. The last one that no one realizes is relief. The bright side of letting go. That it's better for both people. You change when you are with someone else without even realizing it.

I know that even when we were together there was a piece of him still there and when they're together, there's a piece of me there.

I needed to get over her somehow. I didn't want her to worry about me when she should be happy.

In the end I want her to be happy.

I decide to text her one more time
Hey. I hope ur happy and that I'm not holding u back. This isn't meant to b rude. I'm happy for u and I'm here for u.

A text comes through from her.
Hey Joe. I miss u. Ian and I broke up.

I'm sorry to hear that. I respond.
Wanna come over? Or too soon?

Ok. She responds.

Is it easier if I pick u up?

Maybe.

Ok I'll be there ASAP.

"Instead" Lyrics (No copyright intended"

Go
Be yourself
On your way
And don't ever look back
To check if I'm okay
And don't ever be sad that you chose him instead
Cause I don't want regret and I'd rather be rid of it

And when you want someone who cares
Who will know how you feel when you don't want to share
Who will show you support when you've lost your meaning
Just remember this time when you chose not to be with me

And I've tried to defend
How I thought we would play out
I came and confessed that I love you more than he does
So choose me instead
Oh choose me instead
Cause ...

He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough to be
Even half as good as he should be
And I watched you choose him instead of me
Why'd you choose him instead of me?

Go be in love I don't care
But don't ever pretend that we're both unaware
Cause the truth is that you still permit me to be
Close enough that I know you don't want me to leave
And then I remember he's there
And he's been there for years
At your side
Like a stain
And when I see you with him
In your eyes there's a pain
And it's trapped you inside like you can't get away.

And I've tried to defend
How I thought we would play out
I came and confessed that I love you more than he does
So choose me instead
Oh choose me instead
Cause ...

He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough to be
Even half as good as he should be
And I watched you choose him instead of me
Why'd you choose him instead of me?

(Piano instrumental)

(Background singers)
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you

(Background singers repeating He's not good enough for you)
I've tried to defend
How I thought we would play out
I came and confessed that I love you more than he does
So choose me instead
Oh choose me instead

He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you

(Background singers repeating He's not good enough for you)
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough to be
Even half the man that he should be
And I watched you choose him instead of me
Why'd you choose him instead of me?
