I don’t know what came over me. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I had to get out of there. You always gave me hope and at the same time you always made me miserable. I loved you like I never knew I could love anyone – so definitely. No doubts, never, no, but suddenly I realized you were wasting my time and staying here, it’s a mistake. I never knew anyone who made me feel so foolish and alive all at the same time.

One kiss, one tight hug, numerous goodbyes. Eventually I learned to be on my own, to get by.
