my sweet boy, i just can’t stop thinking about everything you’ve told me about your history with her, and i struggle to understand how you could go back to something that hurt you so much. i just can’t get that part figured out. sure, /i/ wasn’t good enough to be with you. but her? she broke you. i saw that in you. i noticed it every day. with the things you said, the things you did, how you reacted to things. i saw the pieces she took from you that were missing, and i wanted to badly to bring them back to you, angel. with kindness, and gentleness, and care. i cared for you. :/ i know i can’t make that decision for you to leave her, but it scares me to think you might be returning to the same pain you worked so hard to leave behind. please do what is best for you and your heart. protect it, because it’s so precious. i wish you’d chosen differently, —mae.
