“No one’s been honest with you and that’s why you’re scared.
You won’t let her all the way go. you’re leaving the door cracked for her to come back in. You won’t shut her all the way out for the fear of there still being a small chance.
You don’t want to ruin that small chance.
And this is because all you’ve ever been told is “she’ll come back” or “she’ll realize what she had” or “give it time”
Poor boy, no one has been honest with you but here I am and that’s what I’m going to do.
Delete her number. You’re not using it. You shouldn’t be, anyway. Don’t talk to her because there’s nothing to be severed from empty conversation and you’ll look foolish when she doesn’t reply.
Delete her pictures. From your phone, anyway. You don’t need them. You just get sad when you look at them, and it’s okay. But you can choose happiness. So print them out and put them in a box in your closet and delete them. Choose happiness.
Don’t think about her. Don’t cry about her. When you see something that breaks your heart, curse her name and take a breath and carry on. Do you honestly think she ever spends more than a minute with your name on her mind? Now why should you be so upset over him?
Don’t wait. Kiss that other damn girl that wants to kiss you. Don’t leave that door cracked. Slam it. If she wants you she’ll work to get it back open. If she doesn’t want you enough in the end to try, lock it.
Don’t expect the best, either. There are chances he thinks about you and will miss you. But there are also chances she doesn’t miss you and never will. Chances are she’s simply out of love, or moved on. Chances are it’s over.
Don’t waste your youth away on people who do not care.”
