He broke up with you, right? After telling you he loved you and calling you pet names? Did he tell you that you were beautiful? I bet he promised you a personalized song. Or maybe heād always mention how he was lying in bed and wished you were there. I bet the things he said made you feel so special, and i bet you thought he was the one, and you'd be with him forever.I bet he dragged āI love youā ...out of you, didnāt he? Yeah, donāt deny it. He would talk to you last thing at night and first thing in the morning. He constantly mentioned losing sleep over you, every night, but we both know he slept like a rock. He made you love pictures that were just sort of āblehā before. Did you delete those pictures after he broke your heart? Yeah, me too. All of your friends hate him now, donāt they? Remember how happy they were for you? They warned you. Just remember, itās okay to cry. And referring to him as āassholeā is perfectly expected. Because, trust me, youāll end up talking about him just as often, if not more, than before the break up. There will be the āone timeās and the āI rememberās, and once you think youāre over him, watch out. You better keep your eyes closed in the hallways, because I promise you, the next time you see him, heāll be all over some other girl. A little part of you will want to warn her, but nobody will blame you for hating her and for blaming her for your pain. Yeah, youāll compare all guys to him, because aside from the man-whorish, heart-breaker thing, he was perfect. He was everything you had ever wanted. Or maybe you made that up. Maybe, the second he started to show interest, you made up this perfect guy in your head, and he just happened to be just like him. Listen, you will find the perfect guy for you just like everybody says you will, and it will be soon. Okay, so I didnāt believe it either, but Iām starting to.The most important thing though is donāt let him know he hurt you. Donāt let him know he could have you back in a heartbeat. Donāt give him that satisfaction. Make him think youāre completely happy. When he decides to wave at you like nothing ever happened, wave back, sure. But donāt smile. Make him think he meant as little to you, as you obviously meant to him.
