-I'm starved for connection.

I guess I had to go through all of this, to grow out of it. I keep telling myself you're just a lesson and nothing else. But I can't forget how amazing my life was when you were part of it. I can't forget how attached to you I was, how foreign this new life felt when you walked out of my old one. You didn't even try for me, while I would've done anything to have just another conversation with you, and smile stupidly to my phone's screen. I knew I didn't matter to you as much as you did to me, but I let you in nonetheless, knowing that I had acquired a somewhat special place in your life. Now, I want to get attached to someone again, someone other than you. I want to feel with someone else what I felt with you. I want sparkles in my eyes instead of this emptiness, shy smiles like the old ones I used to use instead of these fake ones and the feeling of a crazy zoo inside my stomach. I want to feel the dizziness of a happy life with someone who'll value me and know how to treat me right and hold on to me, not try to make me insecure and let me go like you did.
