That I would be grateful to have him in my life, for as long as it lasted. I truly truly, down deep into my bones, believed it would be worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it all felt so good, you know? the joy and wonder that had returned to my life. I was alive again. light, dancing on air, I felt like sunshine, like moonbeams, like a constellation of lovesick stars. of course it seemed worth it! Experiencing this brief bit of happiness was 100% worth the eventual misery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I was wrong. So so wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was not worth it. I have never in my life  tasted such sweetness as this, as him, felt the magic of love and belonging and desire coursing through my veins in such powerful measure. so I gave myself over to it. despite my better judgment. I ignored my instincts. I know this world and I know my fate but I let hope blind me. Hope that this time could be different. And now look at me. I&#8217;m a total mess, paying dearly for my foolishness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish I could be mad at myself but I&#8217;m not there yet. That will come but right now I&#8217;m surrounded by sorrow and regret. I&#8217;m exactly where I didn&#8217;t want to be. I wish I hadn&#8217;t met him, I wish I hadn&#8217;t let him in, I wish I had kept my walls up. I wish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please please let me find a way out. I want to appreciate what we had without bitterness. to remember this time and be happy for it. I don&#8217;t want to be sad. It&#8217;s been such a lovely summer, of warm rains and golden haze. Let me move on from it with love. Please. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"531\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/img_6556.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-3333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/img_6556.jpg 531w, https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/img_6556-122x150.jpg 122w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I would be okay.
