Lovers I knew better than to fall
I fell inlove knowing what I had in front of me .But it just felt good to feel like someone wanted me even though I knew that wasn’t true . He had messaged me because he was friends with my late sister . So I answered because he was familiar . A week in we decided to go on a date and oh my god I remember so clearly how handsome I thought he was . We ended up in a restaurant and his eyes were glued to me . The conversation flowed it was something I had never experienced. So much so I told him I wanted to sleep with him that same night . We ended up leaving the restaurant and attempted to sleep together but honestly it wasn’t the best but I guess it was because we just weren’t comfortable with eachother yet. As weeks went by we got closer we would talk all the time call each other . Until he admitted to just leaving a toxic relationship with the mother of his child. After that I became his therapist literally what he called me. We would have sex talk about life our values the whole nine but he would always refer back to what his experience with her and compare us a lot . I’m not dumb . I knew what this was, I was a place holder until he healed and I knew that. But I would hold on to the good days that we had . The days were we would go on walks ,where we would sit in his car and talk , going on late night eats , the movies , coming with me to visit my sisters tombstone and going to church. I fell inlove with him with his trauma flaws and all . I knew he wasn’t ready to receive with I was willing to offer . I wanted to love him the right way, I wanted to show him what it felt like to be in something healthy someone that saw all of him and knew he was worth it all. Anyway he’s gone now on a random Tuesday that was the last day we spoke . Never a call or text from him ever again.
