1. He has a new girlfriend.
After all of the time that the two of you shared, after all that you went through together, after everything he meant to you and while you are still grieving he has moved on and it is too soon, too cruel, and too telling of his true character.
2. He needs to know that you are the same person you were before and he did not extinguish you.
Your strength and fiery spirit are what drew him to you in the first place and although you continually sacrificed your flame because he preferred the cold you will not continue to do so.
3. Water is the most harmless way to force him to feel what you are feeling.
He hurt you, and you are still hurting.
He claimed that he loved you and you believed him, but while you have been crying yourself to sleep he has been unbothered. Of course, your first choice would be for him to have to feel the pain he has caused you, but the fury he has given you will have to suffice as second best.
Hopefully, this act of aggression will evaporate your anger along with the water drenching his clothes, leaving both of you unharmed in the end.
4. It’s a cry for help.
If you’ve been silently dealing with the pain, holding it all in, and suffocating yourself underneath the weight of your hidden unhappiness, this will bring much-needed oxygen. Your pain will be immediately revealed and others will take notice and come to ease it.
5. His mom will text you.
She will be firm and express her disapproval of your lashing out, but she will also be kind.
She will offer the condolences which her son refused to give, making it as hard to move on as it was. She will assure you that her regard for you has not changed which you will realize was something you valued immensely and it will be a very large relief, and she will remind you that your pain is okay.
This, this conversation with his mother, will offer you the closure you have been grasping for.
Knowing that at least someone from the year of your life that you spent with him understands your loss and your pain and cares about your well-being will be what you have needed.
He cannot offer you anything anymore. He has not been able to offer you anything for a long time, but his mother will.
