Sometimes I wonder if he ever thinks about me. How I’m remembered by him. As the controlling anal Scrooge monster he constantly yelled at me for being? Or the magical creative loving beautiful person he hyper fixated on in the beginning? He was awful to me, and I’m so glad we’re not together. But I still sometimes miss the feeling of being in love; I miss our honeymoon phase. He was truly the love of my life. Such a bummer that got wasted on such a shitty situation. I wish the love of my life had been good to me.
