I do not even regret wanting to get over you. It is not cowardly to run away from things that I am certain I am bound to lose anyway. Your lucid trepidation is just the answer I need to know.

Why am I not allowed to own my feelings? What is wrong with feeling hurt when the one you love is with somebody else? I don not understand why people need to tell me that “I have no right” to be hurt because we were never together. My feelings are mine, and mine alone. If anyone has the right to feel it is me.
