“I wish I knew where I went wrong, where you stopped loving me and decided you had enough. But that is so difficult to figure out because you told me you loved me only a day before you left me. Were those words fake? Tell me, where did we or I go wrong? Did I love you too much? Were you tired of my love? Were you tired of having someone loving you unconditionally? Were you tired of me thinking we had a chance at our happy ending? Were you tired of the fighting and decided that I was no longer worth it, worth the promises you made? Were you tired of me trusting you and for thinking I could tell you whatever was on my mind? Were you tired of me believing you so easily? Tell me, where did I go wrong?”
