I’ll never forget the first time. It was your fraternity party. You were the only person I knew there. You were supposed to make me feel safe. You promised me. I couldn’t look at you the same way ever again. It only took you a month to find another girl after me. The sickness I felt. Feeling helpless, but secretly hoping it was only me you would ever take advantage of so no other girl could ever feel how you made me feel, worthless. I wanted to help her, I wanted to reach out and tell her all the horrible things you said and did, not only that night but every time you felt like it. I can’t ever say I’ll forget but I forgive you. I forgive that you didn’t see my worth. You didn’t see all the times I was trying to be there for you, when I was dealing with my own struggles that you never saw. I had nothing but love for you, I trusted you. Somehow though, I still wish you nothing but the best. That’s all I can honestly say, it’s time to move on and it’s time for me to heal.
