An Open Letter To The Guy Who Made A Fool Of Me

It is hard to quit sometimes despite seeing the red flags in someone, so hereโ€™s an open letter to the man who broke my heart. I made a fool of myself, but now Iโ€™ve learned and I will gain wisdom from it.

โ€œI wish no one would ever mess with your head or send you mixed signals. Like they were so into one day and then blew you off the next. I wish no one would wait two days to text you back, because you know they had their phone off them the entire time.
Because I only want things to be simple for you. And I only want you to be happy. Because you deserve that. Because you deserve people being honest with you.โ€ -Taylor Swiftย 

An Open Letter To The Man Who Broke My Heart

Even saying your name to my friends, left them questioning why I was giving you another chance. Cause it wasnโ€™t just a second chance but rather chance 5,650. But there was something about you, I thought I saw something in you. I thought if I just kept trying, maybe we could get it right.

An Open Letter To The Man Who Broke My Heart

What I didnโ€™t realize was, I was playing a game, I was bound to lose the whole time.

I didnโ€™t see it then though. Because Iโ€™m not the type to give up on people. Iโ€™m not the type to ever walk away, I give people my best every time and hope itโ€™s reciprocated.

I wanted to believe in you.ย 

I thought I saw something in you. In fact, I know I did. I saw bits and pieces of the man you could be, but it takes the right woman to bring out the man in a boy. Maybe I wasnโ€™t right. Maybe we werenโ€™t right.

And everyone told me I was playing with fire with you. They told me I was gonna get burnt. They told me donโ€™t walk towards danger. They saw what I didnโ€™t want to. We see things when we want to, not always when we need to.

I was willing to fight for you.ย 

I didnโ€™t care what people said about you. I didnโ€™t care about your reputation. I didnโ€™t care about how many times you hurt me and left me alone and crying. For some reason my heart chose you and I followed it, fearlessly.

to the man who broke my heart

Everyone said such horrible things about you. Even people saying your name left everyoneโ€™s tongues bitter and wanting to change the subject. Every conversation with everyone ended with, โ€œI hate him.โ€

But I didnโ€™t. I loved you more than anyone. And I would have done anything for you.

I wanted to prove, everyone wrong about you.ย 

I wanted so badly to prove to everyone they were wrong. I wanted everyone to see you in the light I did. But more than that I think in my stubborn nature, I didnโ€™t want to be wrong. I didnโ€™t want to look back at this all and realize I wasted my time. I wanted everyone to like you the way I did. But it wasnโ€™t just like, it was a cruel game of love that swallowed me whole.

But you broke meโ€ฆย 

I remember standing there, as the calls went right to voicemail. I remember looking at my phone as texts were delivered, but no response. I remember going to bed every night crying for so long. I donโ€™t know what I did to deserve any of that.

to the man who broke my heart

All I ever did was love you the best I could.

But you left me high and dry when you were done with me.

You were quick to make phone calls in the late hours of the night and I answered every time. I gave you what you wanted. If you asked me to come, I would have.

But you used me.

I believed you when you told me weโ€™d get it right eventually. I held onto that. I held onto every conversation. I reread messages as you told me you loved me because I truly did love you. I loved you more than anyone. I would have chosen you first. I would have loved you with everything I was capable of. I would have given you the best of me.

Then left me to pick up the pieces.ย 

And all you could reciprocate was thanking me for being a temporary fix until you got the real thing. But to me, you were the real thing. You were every thought at night. You were every wish. But I didnโ€™t mean as much to you.

to the man who broke my heart

And you let me go and you walked away, not looking back.

And I was the fool, for being surprised.

And no one said I told you so. Because, when you place your bets on the one person no one else wants to, that moment you lose, youโ€™re left to deal with it on your own. Because you know everyone was right.

So I took my tears and silently wept, in the privacy of my room, as the darkness screamed your name so loudly.

I was the only one to believe in you. I was the only one to love you as I did. I was the only one who saw good and didnโ€™t define you by how badly you treated me.

You made a fool of me. And I promised myself after you, no one would ever do such a thing to me again.

I know you arenโ€™t defined by who you are at your worst. I know the man youโ€™ll amount to one day. But getting there took breaking the one person, who loved you most of all. I just hope it was worth it.

I hope when you speak my name, it sends shivers of regret, throughout your body. I hope my name tastes as bitter, coming off your tongue, as yours does me.

But most of all I do wish you the best. The best though was always me, and thatโ€™s what youโ€™ll live with or rather without because if ever you do come back, thatโ€™s a call Iโ€™ll let go right to voicemail.

to the man who broke my heart

โ€œOh, and the award for The best lie goes to you For making me believeโ€ฆLetโ€™s hear your speech, oh How about a round of applause A standing ovation But you put on quite a show Really had me going.โ€ -Rihannaย
