I think – I think when it's all over, it just comes back in flashes, you know? It's like a kaleidoscope of memories, but it just all comes back. But he never does. I think part of me knew the second I saw him that this would happen. It's not really anything he said or anything he did. It was the feeling that came along with it. – Taylor Swift
I'd never been the girl to be all crazy about any guy in my life, but you paraded into my vision and somehow managed to change all that. You were broken glass, but I still touched you even though I knew I'd get hurt.
Man, am I good at loving people who don't love me back. I don't think I can say you were the one breaking my heart. I think I was the one who kept breaking it over and over by settling for a relationship that I knew deep down, didn't sit right with me, hoping that it would magically change on its own.
I managed to get my heart repaired then broke again maybe a thousand times. We'd spend two weeks in love, and then a week in resentment — throwing it back and forth like a baseball. Our "relationship" was a series of constant train wrecks that somehow we always ended up surviving together, hand in hand.
The definition of "us" was thrilling and exotic, but dangerous and destructive at the same time.
It terrifies me how talented you were at turning your emotions on and off. How you could be so kind and loving one moment then cold like ice the next. Whenever you opened your mouth I never knew if it was going to be "I love you" or "it’s over."
We were toxic to each other, yet, brought peace to each other at the same time.
I used to hope we'd one day get to a point where we would finally raise our white flags, but I've come to realize the slim chance of that ever happening and am done giving you chance, after chance, after chance.
I'm grown, you're grown, and we both know the difference between right and wrong at this point. Of course, mistakes happen, but when they start becoming repetitive, they are no longer mistakes…
They're choices, your choices. So I'm done. Two strikes and you're out.
You'll always have a place in my heart, and I know I'll always have a place in yours. You can lie to yourself and pretend I don't mean anything to you, but I know… I was the one.
And someday you're going to realize that too.
