i saw this yesterday when i went to see what day 12 was….i had a big ‘fuck you’ letter planned out in my head with the perfect words to make you regret losing me (not that you ever had me anyways). but now i don’t remember it, all i remember are things about you that i would rather forget. you are a coward in my eyes. one of the only boys i’ve put myself in a vulnerable position for. it’d be different if you ignored my feelings once, but ignoring the fact that i like you when it is thrown in your face twice is bullshit. you don’t deserve me. you don’t deserve anyone until you deal with your own problems. so i’ll act like everything is fine when i see you in a few weeks, and eventually i’ll get over you. but you will always wonder if you missed out on something great. i hate to break it to you, but you did.
