its okay
you're going to read this. i hope. well, i'm pretty sure you've tabbed this now.
but i want to let you know that it's okay.
there is nothing wrong with being wrong. its okay to fuck up and admit it. its okay to not blame anyone else in the world.
there is only one person in the world to blame for what happened that night, seven months ago. and that's me. there was nothing stopping me from doing what i should've. but i didn't. and i'll blame myself forever. and that's okay.
just like there was nothing stopping you from doing what you should've.
the only thing i can question is if its what you really wanted. only you know. and you certainly never showed it. but i never really showed vinnie how much i wanted him around.
is the situation really the same?
all you had to do was take your inner feelings and express them. it was so hard for me. but i tried. i can say that. can you say that?
just look at what happened for me. breathe. don't get angry. close your eyes and relive it. relive leaving me alone for three weeks. relive coming to see me only once or twice a day.
why? why not more?
relive only bringing nathan for dinner time. relive getting angry at how much work he took.
relive lying to me.
why? what was the point?
relive telling her you loved her. that you thought you did. relive never telling me.
relive what you really spent your time at home doing, when you could've been with me and vincent.
how does it make you feel? why'd you continue doing it then?
relive never being honest about it. relive waiting on me to find out. then relive five months later, blaming me for it and calling me crazy.
relive all the broken promises. the ones that said you'd always try for me. relive the hope you gave and then shattered.
relive never being there when we needed it.
why'd you only take ten days? you could've had so much more time with us.
relive not being there that night. and relive not being there the moment i found out. relive being alone, and imagine not having me to hold on to when they said those words.
relive flying home alone. and knowing you had every chance to be with us.
relive telling everyone i couldn't hack it. and thats why i stayed back.
relive bring her back. again. and again. and again. and again. and relive telling me how awful you felt. and how horrible she is. and then relive telling her she's your everything.
relive the chances i gave. relive the months i've done it alone. relive the torture and torment you gave after it was over. relive screwing me out of everything i deserved.
then tell me how you can blame me. for anything.
i blame myself. but you can't blame me. its okay matt. you have every right to be angry. and every right to want to find a way out of this fault. i expect you to never be there, and to run back to the military, and to suck all those bad habits back.
but know, its not because of me. its because of you. and that's why i'm no longer at your side. i never really was. the picture was always a little smudged and blurry on that end, because you were always iffy about me.
so its okay. let me go. and don't move on from me. just focus on yourself and know, there is nothing wrong with that. you have to fix yourself before you can be happy. and its going to take a while.
nothing comes easy. nothing. it's all with its weight and time. you're going to get through it. and we're going to be happy. and everything will fall into where it belongs. okay?
