Memoirs of a broken heart

Yesterday’s afternoon, I could not remember what day it was. I had to go through the trouble of consulting on my cell phone for help. At last, I remembered. Or, my cell phone helped me to remember.

Yesterday was Thursday, four days having been working for Trialogue and four days after my break up with my boyfriend of three months. He broke up with me, citing unhappiness and a sudden urge to flee the space so as to “disappear from everything and everyone”. Somehow, his reasoning striked me as a statement inspired by one of Iyanla Vanzant’s profound books.

Anyway, I would be lying if I say I didn’t feel it coming. Unfortunately, my love for him blinded my eyes, and today, I noticed that a couple of people were well aware of what was about to strike. Never mind the fact that, they did not bother to hint when I held a heart to heart conference with them.

The aftermath

I am not hurt, or maybe I am lying, but that’s what I believe. However, I am deeply disappointed at him for making me believe that things were going well between us. Nonetheless, I refuse to blame myself for the bad romance that went bad between him and me. I told him that when he tried to give me that “it’s not you, it’s me” phrase.

Having said that, it feels lonely, already. But, that’s the first step to moving on, I believe. Also, I just realised that, I have never been dumped before. So, starting off by getting dumped via an SMS is quite a lesson.

Happy read!
