Hello friends…long time no post! Luckily, I am still getting a few hits here and there so at least I know people are still reading! I’ve had a hella couple months so I apologize for not keeping up with my writing. Below is a letter I have written that I will never send, I’ll just post it for the whole world to see except him. (haha) I’m doing this for closure on my end because well, I’m a girl and I need that. I, of course, have changed his name for privacy. I’m not sure this will be a very entertaining post due to the emotional crap that comes with it and some of it probably won’t make much sense to you but I need to get it all out for my own mental health. Also, I feel the need to apologize in advance for subjecting all of you to my emo bullshit.
Dear Jalapeno:
I can’t believe after everything that was said and done we are here…again. After being my OCD self and over thinking/analyzing this almost to the point of mental instability, I have come to a few realizations.
First of all, I refuse to believe you were lying when you said I was the first person you enjoyed kissing. I refuse to believe the passion and intensity in the beginning wasn’t real and I also refuse to believe the alone times, just hanging out talking weren’t as awesome for you as they were for me. I was there; I remember the look in your eyes and the words that were said. I felt it and I know you did too. I’ve said this before but I have to say it again….you have NO IDEA how hard it is for me to actually get to the point where I want to try and regardless of being scared for several reasons, I really did try. When we had the sex talk and both decided it best to wait, I honestly felt like you were the first man I had ever met that was actually on the same page as me.
Time passed and then the wigging out stage begins. For reasons I’m not 100% sure of, things start to change. You start pulling away…the PDA stops, I begin to the be one initiating the make out sessions, the conversations slow…this continues for a few weeks and I finally tell you “you suck”…and BOOM you tell me not to fall in love with you. Wait….WHAT??? You are in reconfigure yourself mode, you don’t want to hurt me, and your heads messed up…blah blah blah. Want to know what I thought? I thought you were scared. I thought you were starting to feel things with me that scared the fuck out of you and you freaked. Then, due to your freak out – I freak out. I mean, what exactly is the correct way to handle being told “don’t fall in love with me”? I assumed the slow down and that statement meant you didn’t want me. I left you alone and a week later there you were…wanting me again. And due to the intensiveness with “us”, I go right back. I couldn’t help myself, I missed you but more importantly I missed us.
Let me just say – I can read you like a fucking book! The minute something starts to sketch you out, I instantly feel it…and that’s why I refuse to believe a lot of things and why I also know a few things. So, there we are and things aren’t better. You were still holding back. After a few weeks of status quo on my part, I start to “see” you’re on your phone all the time texting and walking away to talk. Then, after trying to make plans and you hemming and hawing with statements like “I can’t this week”, “that day just isn’t good for me” you finally say “I have plans with my friend all day” And THAT’S when the clouds finally part and I finally see the sunlight. There is someone else. Your ex? Ya know the one you swore you were done with because of the insane relationship you shared or maybe a new twinkie? Who, I’m not sure of, but I do know there is someone else. And as sick as this is to admit, the first thought that ran thru my head was “maybe he just needs to do this to determine how he feels about me”. I mean – REALLY???? What the fuck?? The strong woman I thought I was would never think such thoughts – she would call you a fucking tool and be done. Apparently, she got lost in this whole mess.
So now I’m sitting here feeling like a total and complete fool. Was the reconfiguring just too hard? Did you decide that having something real was just too much work? Regardless of your reasons, I think you’re a coward and I am ashamed of you. You should have never told me the things you did and you shouldn’t have came back. I am embarrassed that I allowed myself to trust you so easily and I’m ashamed of my weak thoughts.
I just want to give you mad props for your supreme mind fuck. Job well done and good for you.
The one you’ll regret fucking over,
~Chellendipity~
