One Day

I used to think I would never understand those people who remained in love after being heart broken countless times by the same person; the ones who got out of a relationship but never fell out of love and never moved on. Then one morning I woke up thinking about you after months of being apart. That same day I kissed him while trying to push you out of my head. That was the day I realized I never really got over you; over us. Maybe I kissed him to prove to myself I was moving on. Maybe I held his hand for everyone to see so they would finally believe I was happy again. Maybe I posted that picture of us hoping you would see it and think of all the things you wish had never happened between us. That  is the day I knew in my heart I was not ready to love again. I am not ready to give my heart to someone when it is not even whole again. I want a love that speaks volumes with no words; one where I don't have to prove to anyone that I'm in it for the right reasons, especially myself. I'm confident that one day I will kiss someone and it will finally be for me again. I am certain that the next time I say 'I love you' to someone I will actually be 100% in love; the next guy I say those three words to will be my fiancé. You have shown me exactly what I'm not looking for in a man, and for that I'm thankful. One day I will talk to our friends, go to our old spots, listen to our special songs and I won't feel the pain of losing you all over again. I haven't gotten there yet but everyday I get a little bit closer. One day I will see you with her and not feel a thing. One day no one will think of you when they think of me anymore. And when that day finally comes I will feel sorry for you, because you lost someone who would have given the world to be with you.

I like it. The formatting for the page shows it in paragraph form, so I'm having a hard time reading it with the correct feeling, but I think it's nice to read.
