Seeing you walk towards me almost brought me to tears.

It made my stomach turn when you got closer and I saw that it was you.

You were the ex that I never wanted to see again.

When things ended this past summer, I never wanted to see you ever again because of how badly you hurt me. I thought I was never going to see you again even though you have friends and family that go to the same school as me. In my head, you were a distant memory that I had erased from my life. You were no longer a part of my life and I was fine with that.

We didn't end well.

It ended extremely horrible and maybe that's why seeing you didn't sit right with me.

The last time I saw you, we were happy. Leaving for home last May, brought five hours of distance between us and that distance was the only thing keeping me sane. Knowing that I couldn't run into you at the store was what I lived for. Being back at school brought back the fear of running into you at any given moment. It's not that I love you, it's how bad you hurt me. I never wanted to see the person who broke my heart, but I did.

Seeing you brought up a lot of emotions that I had spent the summer getting over. I froze when you came close, what do you say to the person who hurt you so badly. To the person who you thought was going to be there for it all, but ended up crushing the relationship you had.

As much as I hope I never have to see you again, I'll be more prepared. I'm doing so much better now that you're not in my life. I've grown as a person and I found what I want and deserve to have in this life. If we were still together I wouldn't be as confident in my future as I am right now.

Seeing you may have been a nice refresher of why we broke up. It made me remember how much we didn't work and why we had such a dysfunctional relationship. You are a distant memory now and that's where you're going to stay. You're never coming back into my life.
