15 Things I Should’ve Done When She Broke Your Heart

1. When you texted me “Girls are just heartless is all” I should’ve responded with “What did she do?” Instead I said “EXCUSE ME. RUDE. AM NOT.
I’m just kidding, I know, girls are cruel, to be honest”

2. When I asked you if you wanted to talk about your girl issues, you said “No, it’ll only make them worse..” I should’ve said “You’re afraid to tell me because I’m part of the issue,” but instead I told you how I’m there for you, always.

3. When you told me how you wanted to cry I should’ve told you to do it, instead I suggested it. You might’ve felt better then.

4. When you laid on my thighs and started to touch my knees I should’ve moved you. I let you lay there, because I knew if I moved you, you would’ve cried. I should’ve let you cry.

5. When we watched TV, you rested your back on top of my chest, she texted you, you turned red and started shaking, and tearing up, I should’ve told you it’d be okay, but instead I played with your hair and ran my hands up your arms to calm you down, it worked. I should’ve let you cry.

6. When you calmed down, you rested your face between my ribs and told me how you were tired and wanted to sleep, I should’ve taken you on a walk, instead I told you to take a nap.

7. When I laid on top of you and rested my face between your ribs I should’ve kept my hands to myself, but instead I wrapped them around your body and held you while you held me.

8. When you put your hand down the backside of my shirt and started rubbing my back, I should’ve gotten off of you, but instead I nuzzled into your chest.

9. When you asked me if I wanted to nap in my bed, I said yes, you looked at me with pleading eyes and a broken heart, I should’ve said no, I didn’t know what was going to happen next.

10. When we laid down, you took off your shirt, I kept my dress on. You gripped me right into your body, you held my hands and played with my hair; you nuzzled your face in-between my shoulder blades and tried to fall asleep, I should’ve kept you up, I didn’t know what would happen next.

11. When I turned over to lay on your chest, you took your fingers and ran them up and down my back. I tangled my legs into yours, you held me tight, we were stuck. I should’ve got out of bed.

12. When you turned on top of me, you moved my legs open and shuffled the hair out of my face, you looked me straight in the eyes and said “I need you.” I didn’t say anything. “I love you.” I didn’t say anything. I should’ve grabbed your face and said “I know.”

13. When I was silent, you grabbed my back and kissed me hard, you flipped us over and had me sit on top of you. You ripped off my dress and ran your hands up and down my sides. I should’ve stopped you and told you, you were sad and didn’t know what you were doing, you were looking for affection in the form of someone who’d never hurt you, you were looking for me. Instead I gripped your arms and had you make comfort inside of me.

14. When you gripped my hips and touched my thighs, I felt our sweat mixing, you looked down at me like I was magic. My bed was covered in our sweat and you held me tighter than you ever have before. You reached for your shirt and felt the mattress and said “Your bed is covered is our sweat, that’s so fucking cool.” and hugged me. I should’ve been cold, I should’ve said no to letting our sweat mix, but instead I loved you.

15. I should’ve done all of this, but instead I ended up loving and needing you and next time she breaks your heart, I’ll love you again too.

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry—all forms of fear—are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.
