He Was My Everything - Part 6

After a month of me crying over what had become my past, Andrew returned... suddenly willing to be friends again... acting as though nothing huge had happened. But the old Louisa was no more. I had become someone who didn't trust people easily, I became an introvert... but it suited me.

Andrew may have wanted to get back together with me, but I didn't even let him be friends with me... he tried hard, but I couldn't forget all the times he wasn't there for me, all the times I had felt as though my life had collapsed all around me.

Love is effortless, true
Love is boundless, true
Love is honest, true
But love in itself should be true too, right?

And so I learned to say a word I should have said months ago, all the times he didn't treat me well enough, when he was rude, or ignorant. I said NO.

This time when I listened to Taylor's song, I wiped my tears away. Sad times were behind me, and I'll thank him for leaving me one day. And he'll regret losing me many, many days.

"And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted, but I'm so sorry

'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rear view mirror disappearing now

And it's too late for you and your white horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late to catch me now..."

That night, I slept with a smile on my face.

He wasn't my everything.

I had moved on.
