every story has two sides
as the villain of your story, I would like to share mine.

I know how it looked, I left, broke your heart and found someone new so fast.. I didn't even give you time to process it.

I just couldn't love you, I couldn't keep convincing myself that I did. When things started I truly thought it was love and maybe it was, for what I thought love to be at the moment. It was my first encounter with love, my first illusion, I didn't know anything else.

When I met him my world just burst in color and I couldn't understand the new feelings blooming inside of me. He was just so different than everything I knew and he made me feel so alive... I felt such guilt for this feelings because I didn't have them for you, never like that.

And I realized that maybe what I felt for you was not love, but care, friendship, worry, tenderness but I couldn't bring myself to say it. To tell you that the love in your eyes only went one way. Until you grasped me tight looking for explanations and I had to lie and tell you that we needed to end things because I needed space.
