Things I wish I could say to you
But I can't —
-if you're truly happy now, then i'm happy for you.
-i secretly don't think your happiness now is any more real than the happiness you had with me.
-you're really good at pulling people in, you know? it's not a good thing.
-do you really believe that your intentions are better than they truly are?
-i hope someday you can own up to all the damage you've caused.
-perhaps someday you realize that maybe you deserve all this hurt that's coming to you.
-i hope someday you find peace and someone who makes you happy for real.
-i hope you realize that i know what you were trying to do with me, and her, and her.
-i know that i fell for it. and i shouldn't have.
-i thought you looked at me like that because you really loved me. you look at her the same way.
-i let myself believe that you loved me. when really, you only wanted to use me. everyone could see that but me.
-were any of the secrets you told me real? you made me think you trusted me, like i was someone special to you.
-you fooled me.
-i'm not sorry anymore.
