I met someone else.

Ive been on the receiving end of this statement so many times, its almost comical.

I met someone else.

My minds tells me.You.

Is she prettier than me?

Where can I find a sense of control something to fix to prevent this from happening again?

Maybe I should send out a survey?

My pool is large enough at this point, I could almost promise anonymity.

What am I doing wrong?

How can I be enough?I met someone else.

Tonight Ill listen to Mad World and cry quietly while I get ready for bed.

Ill take a melatonin and congratulate myself for it not being a Zopiclone.

Because I will heal.

But the most disconcerting part is the ultimate relief that washes over me.

A paradoxical, dreadful relief.

Relief in the comfort of aloneness.

Relief in the comfort of rejection.

Relief in no longer feeling vulnerable.

I come back to this moment.

No one can hurt you now, my mind reassures me with a smile.

He met someone else.
