It was just a kiss. Nothing more, you ended it before it began, and reverted back to friendship. How do I know its not all lies?
Why does it hurt so. Why do I stay awake for nights quivering with anger and emotion, losing valuable sleep. Why do I wake up to a strained chest and sore muscles, still tight with anger. Why do I care. Is it the thought of losing you that aroused my jealousy and woke me up from this sham of a relationship we have? Is this love?
While I stew in my own turmoil, you enjoy Vegas and youth and even share the same bed with him. How do I know nothing happened? How can I believe you.
Not one apology from you this whole time. You wanted it.
I remember our contract made 2 years ago. This will be all a fling and you can move on at any time and I will step aside. I was a callous selfish individual. I believed I would find someone better and just push you aside. I was wrong. My morals prevented me from doing so even when there were girls throwing themselves at me and tousling my hair. I didn't want to break you, didn't want to see you hurt. And now I have done exactly that; to myself. My actions of neglect pushed you away; my own selfishness pushed you away. Maybe it is better this way. She can drift away without any of the emotional baggage. I will carry all of it myself. The hate, the anger, the pain. For both of us. Because my actions made it so, I deserve it. I believe that.
I raise my glass in a toast. To my callous selfish neglectful self. To pain and suffering. To hate and envy and maturity. To love and youth.
I sowed the seeds of destruction through my own actions, I will reap the awards of pain and loneliness. I will take this burden unto myself and let her live free and happy. She deserves better after all.
