Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedLike the boy who broke my heart from across the phone at 18  
Extracting promises of a forever that’ll never come  
Making me laugh till I cried  
Making me believe that love could drop on me like a sudden summer rain  
Refreshing and unexpected  
Quiet yet present  
Until you left  
And I had to pick the pieces of my heart up off the floor.  
  
I know they say it’s better to have loved than to never try  
But I wish I never met you and tasted what could have been.  
  
Or the boy I met at 22  
Who reminded me so much of him  
You made me laugh  
Made me feel special then suddenly stopped.  
It was a whirlwind that ended too soon  
Then you picked up the knife he’d dropped  
And stabbed me with words  
leaving lacerations in places I’m still discovering  
Maybe I miss what could have been  
Maybe I wondered what could have been  
Maybe I still liked him.  
  
But I wish I’d never had to start at all.  
I wish your part in my story could be erased.  
  
And the boy I met at 24  
Older, but not wiser  
You left me with more scars than they did.  
You weaponised my pain  
And made my joy impossible  
You made living a war rather than a peace I already possessed.  
You had my friends praying for me, hoping it’d end as soon as it began.  
Then I found a loophole and I thought I’d got out  
But my mind wouldn’t let me leave even when my heart already did.  
Until you went too far and hurt me in my darkest moments.  
  
I don’t forgive you  
Maybe I never will.  
I’m just glad you no longer have a hold on me.  
I don’t miss you and I hope I never do.  
  
Getting over you was easier than with everyone else  
I’d grown up  
Healed my inner child.  
Then I spoke with you last night  
And felt the overwhelming sense of release, an exhale wash over me again.  
I wish I’d never met you and known how cruel words can be.  
I wish you’d never had the chance to hold up the knife they all used.  
I wish it was never you.
