I still think of him every day
We ‘dated’ almost 3 years ago. I remember him telling me that one day I would hate him for what hes done, and that he hoped that by 18 I wouldnt remember him.
And none of it is true, i dont hate him. I did for a bit because it felt less painfull than missing him but I cant lie to myself. I begged him to stay and not leave I wanted him to love me I wanted all of this to happen. But I was naive I blame myself for that no matter if people tell me its not my fault I should have known better. I knew it was grooming but I couldnt let go of him I was in such a bad place it felt like I was going to die if he left.
But I didnt die, im still there even tho I wish I wasnt most of the time and im soon to be 18 and I still think of him everyday. I still remember him and I want to feel like he made me feel again.
Even if it wasnt genuine on his part Im aware it wasnt. I like to think that he cared and actually loved me because knowing he didnt is just worst so I keep holding tight to thoses few memories I have where I felt genuenly loved otherwise its just sad. And i dont want it to be just sad.
And I get dms of random men and think ‘theyre clearly stupid for thinking anyone would fall for that’
But thinking back of when we started talking he was like any of thoses and I did fall for it, because I was so miserable and so stupid.
I write him letters he wont read too often for it to be a healthy coping mechanism. If he were in front of me I dont know if id beg him for him to take me back or if Id want him dead. He dissapeared randomly and I never talked to him again, its probably for the best but I wish I got closure. And im mad that he took that from me, it was selfish like everything else he did. But theres still this part of me that wants him whenever I feel lonely, whenever I feel bad I want him and his words to reassure me. And in the end im more mad at myself for feeling that way than at him for taking advantage of me.
Sry if I made any mistakes english isnt my first language.
