"In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair."- Taylor Swift

Letting you go had to be the most difficult thing I've ever done. There were times you felt like my damn prince charming coming to rescue me from my castle. You said all the right things to me to get me to fall for you. It all worked. What a fool I was for believing that we could actually make it work.

Two months later I found myself falling harder for you. Your personality was what I was so drawn too. And truthfully I still am.

People told me time and time again that you were no good for me.

But I wanted to believe in the guy I knew you could be.

I knew you had it in you to be a good guy. You had some star moments where you were just incredible. I kept making excuses for you. Every time someone doubted me I just said "he's exhausted he works long hours too" or "he has a family thing and family is very important to him." I honestly found myself making more excuses than anything. And to be honest, I never should have had to do that.

But you showed me your true colors

You showed me you're nothing but a damn player. I don't know how you can tell someone you really care about them and then turn around and not talk to them for a week. Never really wanted to go out. Anytime I was invited to a party or decided I just wanted to go out with you, you always a) ignored me completely or b) said you were too busy for me.

You came into my life when I was at my most vulnerable.

My grandmother had just died. And I was still coping with that loss. Then on top of that my best friend became just a memory and I was in a bad place at the time. You saw that and basically comforted me in your own special way.

You'd tell me constantly you cared and that I was super important in your life, but how the hell could I be if all you want is sex? That was all you saw me as, a toy you could play with and then when you were done or tired of it, you threw it away because having the same toy isn't fun is it?

I was a true fool for believing you were actually different than the other assholes I've associated myself with. I made a mistake in letting my guard down but you only wanted one thing and me being the idiot I am, gave it to you. I never should have.

From my observations, you string girls around for months or even as far as years around because you can't stay committed. Which honestly, I feel sorry for you.

You know as much as I feel like the fool, I'm honestly not. You are.

You lost someone who would've given you their last breath. You lost someone so freaking amazing. Who could've loved you if you had given her a chance.

Instead you threw her away. Made her feel unimportant. And I am so sorry that you are like that.

But I'm not coming back to you like I always did. So don't bother calling, because I'm not going to answer.

I wish you well in life.

Sincerely,

The One That Got Away
