The moment that I was more afraid of losing you than losing me, I had already let myself down. I am relearning how to love myself the way that I loved you.
What you love about me, you also despise. How cliche… It turns out that you cannot handle me, and frankly, I would not expect you to.
When we met, I drowned in you.
& you drowned in me, too.
But I breathed you in, filled my lungs with all that you are.
You swallowed what you wanted, and spat out the rest.
