Dear Ex,

So, it's been awhile, right? And, let's be honest, I don't miss you.

You didn't give me anything but pain. What we had was a lie. I was so young and naïve, that I thought you loved me. I wish I could say I didn't love you, but I did. I did. And that's the part that hurts most. The fact that I loved you, no matter what you did.

I pretended not to notice when your hand moved too low when you hugged my friends. I ignored it when you'd flirt with waitresses while we were out. I even turned a blind eye when I knew you were sleeping with other girls. Why? Great question. That one's going to take some thinking.

I think it's because I was so excited to finally have someone that thought I was pretty, someone who told me they loved me, even if it was a lie. I was so desperate for someone to love me, for an escape from home, that I let you fly me away from it all. It didn't matter to me that you were only with me for your own benefit.
