I find that I can't be happy with anyone, because the second someone shows even a remote similarity to any characteristic of yours, I flee. 

No one has slept on your side of the bed since you left. Whenever a man spends the night, I sleep in your spot as some twisted attempt to preserve your ghost.

my bub dear girl who replaced me in six days, when you make him ramen, make sure you flick the flavor packet and get all the powder out - because he will check, and if you do a good enough job then you will get to see the look on his face that he makes when he check and feels silly for underestimating you. also, always keep a beef flavored ramen in the house, he thinks its his favorite, but his real favorite is chicken so always have extras of those hidden for him he prefers butter over cream cheese on his onion bagel he’s always going to compare your relationship to his parents and his brothers with Stevie, don’t let him he needs to be pushed to do a lot of things, push him, make sure he’s always the best he can be he like draft beer better than bottle, but it’s only because he thinks he’s from the south when he chews on his bottom lip and won’t look you in the eyes, its because he can’t do/say whatever it is he wants to and he’s really hurting when he’s not in a good mood, or he had a “meh” day he orders Sam Adams, so keep an eye out for that when you’ve trying to have a serious conversation with him, make sure there are no animals in the room and the tv is off, he has the attention span of a toddler the trick to the ranch dressing he loves in a spoonful of mayonnaise and some dried onion mixed in with the regular instructions on the back of the hidden valley ranch packet after you go out on the boat, he’ll wash it and play with it for what feels like forever .. until he realizes you’re showering without him when he’s sick, he truly thinks its the end of the world and if he says you’re beautiful, hold on to it, because he might not ever say it again

love, the girl he cheated on

My love for you still weighs heavily on my chest, making it harder to breathe everyday.
