Missed Love Will Leave Forever1
During a camping trip, my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend sang her a love song and presented her with a bouquet.
My old classmates all turned to look at me, thinking I would be furious.
But I just smiled and said, "You two are so in sync, why don't you share a tent tonight?"
——
During the holiday trip, my girlfriend, Joanna Carter, insisted on bringing her ex-boyfriend, Liam Nelson, despite my objections.
Not only that, but they also left me at the highway service area.
I was both sad and angry. When the police sent me home, Joanna said I was lazy and embarrassing her.
So, I exploded and said she didn't care about me, only Liam.
She accused me of being petty and stormed out.
We argued for almost half a month.
It wasn't until this morning that Joanna smiled at me and said, "I was partly wrong before."
"Let's go to watch the sunrise together."
"The tent and snacks are all ready!"
I knew she wasn't sincerely admitting her mistake, just because her parents were coming for a visit and we'd have dinner together in a few days.
After all, every time we argued before, I'd apologize humbly and give her gifts because I was afraid of losing Joanna.
This would last for several days.
Then Joanna would smile and regain her affection for me.
I would be very happy and continue to maintain our hard-won love.
Again and again, Joanna seemed to have gotten used to this pattern and really thought it was always my fault.
It was as if I had been threatened by him.
And I still had to force a smile.
But these days, I've gradually realized that I've lost interest in anything related to Joanna.
So, when she invited me to watch the sunrise, I just responded with a faint "okay" and turned into the study.
In the past, watching the sunrise with Joanna was my long-held wish.
But every time I mentioned it, Joanna refused.
But when Liam invited her, Joanna immediately dressed up and went. Liam even posted photos on social media to provoke me.
I was so angry that I couldn't sleep for days.
Joanna told me not to overthink it, saying that a group of people went and she couldn't refuse.
When I came out of the study, Joanna was nowhere to be found.
She didn't show up at the agreed time in the evening.
Unlike before, I didn't call or text her, just silently called a taxi and set off alone with my luggage.
Life is like a dream; rather than worrying about others, it's better to be happy alone.
