The content keeps on coming. Enjoy this flash fiction piece below.
It’s been three years since he left. He. Him. I can’t even bring myself to say his name anymore. Maybe it’s guilt. Maybe it’s grief. Or maybe I’m just being silly. That’s what he always said anyway.
“Don’t be silly, Sally.” That’s me, silly Sally. I’m better off without him anyway.
What did he ever do for me? Left me in a world of debt that’s eating up all the measly money my receptionist job brings in.
Good riddance, is what I want to say, but I can’t.
Because my heart aches without him.
Come on over and friend me on Facebook at Lisa Lancaster.

All too familiar feeling. I love this though!
Also, I refuse to speak his name. If I must refer to him I address him as, “the name of which we shall not speak.” 🙂

Unfortunately, right?

Totally. I once didn’t have someone in my life for 3 years that I did everything for, and no matter how much I tried to hate him and forget about him, I just couldn’t. I stopped trying eventually. He’s back in my life after all those years and I wonder; is he worth the effort I put in? Because he’ll never even put in half of the effort I put into him. But I just can’t seem to let go, because he’s one of the most important people in my heart.

It’s a hard thing to do, to make the decision to take care of yourself first and so much easier said then done.

I know one thing; he’ll never destroy me again, I won’t let him. I come first. I learned that lesson. But when you know someone inside and out the way I know him, all of him that noone else knows, it’s hard to ever fully let go.
