Its been a year now.

And I did just that.

I never wrote about the cheating.

The disbelief Id corner myself with every night when I lay down in my bed- alone.

How could you do this to me again?

I was so proud of myself for holding this (and SO much more) back.

I thought I deserved something for it.

Look at me- taking the high road.

But this isnt about some existential road.

This is about the truth.

You wouldnt even last a week.

I would say I feel sorry for you- but I dont.

I feel sorry for myself for holding this in for so long.

I deserve the right to say these things to your face and for you to actually hear them.

I deserve someone (not you, someone decent) who will never do what you did.

I deserve an actual apology.

Ill never get it, this much I know.

Not a real one anyway.

What good would it do me that I havent already done for myself?

I moved on because I know there are infinitely better people out there than you.

I have no guilt when I lay my head down at night.

I hope you’re able to say the same.
