Tea & Heartbreak

• Laudable •

For her
***

I remember you too. I remember how he introduced both of us to each other and I can perfectly recall what I thought.

Of course, during that time, I was wary of you. When he wasn't speaking to me, he was with you and I was so curious what drew him to you.

It took a while and I eventually figured it out.

You were his comfort zone, his pillar of support, his go-to girl.

That was supposed to be me.

But it wasn't.

Instead I was the reason why he was always sad, why he never socialized much with his friends anymore, and why he just sort of isolated himself from the world.

So now that he's with you, I guess it's safe to assume that things are going great.

I hope you make him happy, sweetie. I really do.

My heart might be cold, my soul may be black, but that doesn't stop me from wishing you the best.

He might hate me, and so do you, but to hell with it because I hate you guys too.

I did everything and when everything wasn't enough, maybe it was time to let go.

Maybe it was time to accept the facts.

But I've wasted too many tears on you and him already that maybe it was time for a change.

Change starts within oneself and that's what I'm doing.

You make him happy. It's about time that I admit that.

He smiles more. His day is just a little bit more brighter. Life for him just gets more meaningful when you're there.

All that was missing was that I leave.

And now that I did, I tell you this:

Make him do it right this time.

I know I wasn't the right girl for him, but you can be. You can be that girl.

He doesn't know how relationships work, so teach him.

He ain't perfect, but you might just be what he needs.

So it all boils down to this:

I was right all along.

I was right to be wary of you.

Sincerely,
