The Dear Him Series
Dear Him,
“I’m out of words to describe the ways in which I hurt. I should leave now, pack up all my stuff, leave this letter on the table for you, and never look back. But I am a coward. Afraid of change. Afraid to lose you. Afraid to hurt you. Afraid to try to pick up the leftover pieces all over again. So I won’t. I’ll stay here. In the house you made with someone else. With the secrets in your phone and the lies you build all around us. I’ll give you the love and attention you want to come home to after work. I’ll stay up late, hurting and empty at night, thinking about all this distance I travelled to get right here. And I’ll tell the lies, to my friends, to my family, about how things are so different now and how you’re so changed. And, in the end, I’ll bury myself in the amount of times I’ve said it’s fine, I’m okay, and smiled when I shouldn’t.”
