for you

the reason we go for certain people is because they are a reflection of ourselves. love is completely narcissistic.
you had all the qualities i began to hate in myself and i couldn't continue to see it everyday in you.
the reasons i liked you in the beginning became the reasons i couldn't be with you later on.
lust misleads us right from the beginning. it makes the other seem infallible,perfect. they become an obsession because they are everything you've always wanted. but are they? when the lust fades we see the person we are left with. i was left with a version of myself, faults and all. i was sick of dealing with the same downsides in myself and in someone else. i needed to improve how i felt about myself but it was impossible without you improving too. you said you were working on yourself but nothing ever changed. i had to escape and start over. it was selfish to leave, but love is selfish. we only care about the happiness the person brings us.
im sorry i hurt you. i still feel like you are a part of me. i want you to be happy.
