Love Letter 20

 To the boy who tried, 

You really wanted to have the perfect relationship but that's a hard thing to achieve. Especially with me. I like the flaws in life. It reminds us how fragile everything really is.

You were always trying to go over the top with everything. You were like the over achiever in the relationship, and I was like the kid that was late to class. You always wanted everything to go your way. You were always mad at something when there was no reason to be. Things don't always go to plan, and you just gather yourself and move on with it. 

I was just there enjoying the moment. 

Then you got aggressive, and the weird thing is, I like aggressive people. They know what they want, and they go after it and usually get it. You were different. You knew what you wanted, and you would go after it and refused to let yourself fail. 

I can't tell you on how many occasions I had bruises that I played off because you wanted to be rough. You never saw it that way though. When you ignored my pleas to leave, I knew that it was done. I don't think that you ever saw it. Of course, you had been drinking after I had asked you not to.

It still blows my mind to this day that you acted that way when I told you what I wanted and expected from the night, and you took it and threw it as far as you could. You kept drinking. You never took no as an answer. 

Then you continued to come around even after it was done because you weren't done. You showed up to my family event and told everyone you didn't know why I was ignoring you. You just kept showing up when I wanted you to be gone. 

I hope that your life is exactly what you deserve.
