+ treinta y siete

by the time he woke up, i was already on a plane to puerto rico, and a long text message had been left in his inbox before i blocked his phone number from my contacts.

to: tae tae <3

i'm so sorry i left you behind, tae. but i think its best for the two of us.

your family and friends are right, i only bring you down into the muck when all you've done is help me. people say that you pity me, and i tried not to believe them. but as it sunk in, i realized it was probably true.

why would you--someone so perfect, someone destined for good things--fall in love with a broken person like me?

i hope you can forgive me one day for not saying goodbye properly.

i will love you always. but i'm a poison.
