"See you later I guess."

"Yeah. See you." I waved at my boyfriend Josh as he walked back down my driveway to his car, but yet again, I was thinking about Daniel. 

I had never truly gotten over him. It wasn't that I didn't love Josh. It was just thatI had loved him for so long before I even knew Josh existed. I mean, Josh was great, perfect to someone else. The exact person I wanted to fall for. At first, I just didn't see why I couldn't. Now I know. It's because of Daniel. We had so much. He taught me how to love someone and be loved in return. Plus, we got history

I knew that Josh probably didn't deserve to be "dragged along" as I had been told I was doing, but I didn't really want to give him up just then. Maybe I could force myself to love him if I stuck with it long enough. Now, I have given up trying. I was actually planning on dumping him. Just tell him that it wasn't his fault. I used to love him, he used to love me. Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back

Later that night, I called Josh and told him I needed to talk to him, and it was important. When he got to my house, a concerned look was written all over his face. I sat down on the couch in my apartment and nodded at the chair next to me, indicating that I wanted him to sit down. He sat as though he had never been there before and was unused to my house or something. With a sad smile, I began.

"Sorry, I don't really see this workin' out. It's nothin' you did. I just can't do this right now. No easy way to say this and I don't know how. It's nothin' ya did. But here goes lettin' you down"

He looked at me with a pale face. "What do you mean? Did something happen?"

"Baby, you're so perfect, but he's the perfect one for me. I know that you're worth it, but somethin' 'bout him gets to me. Gets to me, all I need. Plus, we got history"

"So it's someone else? Is that what you're saying?" He looked into my eyes and I could see tears in his eyes. He really cared for me. I wish I could just love him back. It would make my life a whole lot easier for sure.

"Yes. That is why. I'm so, so sorry that it had to happen this way, but I didn't know I felt the way I did before. It's nothin' I did, but now, I guess I'm sure. It's like we never really ever closed that door. It's nothin' we did, but, now, our hearts want more"

"Ok then. I guess I should just go. I hope you are happy with whoever else it is." 

Josh then walked out the door, not looking back. I feel horrible, but I couldn't do it anymore. He would be better off if he wasn't in a relationship I wasn't in 100%. He deserves to be with someone that can give him their everything. 

I used to love him, he used to love me. Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back. We love, love, love, like that.
