Life-Saving Freedom

Waking up in this city is already torture enough,
because it reminds me what I gave up for you.
It reminds me of the choice I made two years ago.
I chose to stay here for college because you asked me not to leave you.
Look where we are now.
</3

I stayed here, away from my family, from my childhood friends,
away from everything I knew…
BECAUSE THAT’S HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.

“Even though we didn’t work out together,
You’re still my sunset.”

</3

Remember my favorite quote? The one you never ever forgot.
“Will you still love me in the morning?”
You don’t know how much I want to hear that from you again.
And you don’t know how much I want to ask you that, and hear a “yes”.

:(

I hope you know the condition you left me in after you walked out of my life.
I hope you know I’m a mess.
