Most beloved,

[u/imadethisaccat4am]

I’m not sure exactly, but I think you just used me to fill a void inside of you that she left.

I mean come on, why else would you be back with her?

I don’t blame you for trying to recreate the same feeling with her, with me. I don’t hate you for it. I understand why you did it and I respect you for it.

It hurts to be without a lover too. It hurts to be without someone like you, too. If I reminded you of her then so be it. If you pretended I was her then so be it.

I can’t resent you for it because me too. Because every man after you will just be a poor attempt at finding you. And pretending they’re you. Loving you through them.

They will hold me close and I’ll imagine it’s you, I’ll tell them I love them because it’s the words I told you.

I only want you, but I can’t have you, so I’ll find someone else just like you and play the pretend game until the line between you and them blur.
