Time Travel In His Bed
<p>Her</p><p><br/></p><p>So, has someone ever broken your heart on New Year’s Eve?</p><p><br/></p><p>Well, it happened to me on the 24th of December, 2019—on a Tuesday, if I remember correctly.</p><p><br/></p><p>He wore a purple jacket.</p><p><br/></p><p>We were in winter, but my heart was somewhere between summer and autumn—trapped in the shackles of betrayal that dimmed a light that suddenly felt so far away.</p><p><br/></p><p>Love is sweet, but when there’s betrayal, the light becomes distant.</p><p><br/></p><p>I knew I could see clearly, yet I was still searching for light.</p><p><br/></p><p>In the lowest tone, I ended it—</p><p>a relationship that stripped me of parts of who I thought I was.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe I let you define me… my existence, my story.</p><p><br/></p><p>Aside from the epidemic, your memories spread through me like a virus.</p><p><br/></p><p>I was caught between time zones—reality and what could have been.</p><p><br/></p><p>The beautiful future we dreamed of almost cost me my sanity.</p><p><br/></p><p>You broke a heart that wasn’t fully formed—</p><p>a little girl’s dream.</p><p><br/></p><p>They say a man can take a woman’s dignity when he violates her.</p><p><br/></p><p>You didn’t take advantage of my body, but my mind… my mind was violated.</p><p><br/></p><p>Exams were coming, but my heart had already stopped functioning.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe I was just another girl you promised the world to…</p><p>but you shattered the one I built.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now, I find it hard to trust anyone.</p><p><br/></p><p>How am I supposed to love him when I don’t even love who I am?</p><p><br/></p><p>How do I pour into someone when I am empty?</p><p><br/></p><p>You took. You broke. You shattered.</p><p><br/></p><p>It was something in and out—without sex—</p><p>yet it felt like dying while still alive.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe now I pour everything into work, because love started to feel like a scam.</p><p><br/></p><p>You didn’t stop me from loving you, even when you knew I was too young.</p><p><br/></p><p>I thought we’d get married. Travel the world.</p><p><br/></p><p>Spend hours talking while waiting for our parents to come home,</p><p><br/></p><p>and when we weren’t talking, we’d send letters to each other.</p><p><br/></p><p>Did you take advantage of me?</p><p>Was it abuse?</p><p>Or did I just wake up to sanity?</p><p>Love was meant to be pure.</p><p><br/></p><p>He is in my life now… but I can’t let him get close.</p><p>He’s not going to hurt me—</p><p>but right now, my biggest fear is hurting myself.</p><p><br/></p><p>Him</p><p><br/></p><p>She’s so young. </p><p>She’s free-spirited.</p><p> She loves me so much.</p><p><br/></p><p>And me? I just failed college. What kind of future can I give her?</p><p><br/></p><p>She’s my little girl. I want to give her the world.</p><p><br/></p><p>She’ll need closure… but how do I give her that?</p><p>She won’t understand. She just got into high school. Life is still uncertain.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe she’ll get over me when she meets younger guys.</p><p><br/></p><p>How do I love you when I’m shattered within?</p><p><br/></p><p>No business. No direction. Just the weight of feeling like a failure.</p><p><br/></p><p>I don’t want that for her.</p><p><br/></p><p>So maybe… I have to let her go.</p>
