They are a fucking parasite. They’ve been eating away at my heart and mind for almost 2 years now. There’s been flirts, touches, laughs, blushes, clothing exchanges, cries, secret swapping, trauma, and a shit ton more. And then I have to leave them and sit with my aching heart. Why can’t I just get over them? They’ve been in multiple relationships when I yearned to be that other person and those feelings still latched on. I want to fall out of love with them. I want to. But I can’t. I don’t know if this parasite or sickness or disease has a cure, but I need it.
