I Miss You, But I Don't Need You

A wonderful realization.

I Miss You, But I Don't Need You
Give Me The Break

I miss you.

I miss the days we used to spend talking.

I miss the way I used to know you so well.

I miss your hair and the way it curled around your face.

I miss the comfort of your arms around me.

I miss your deep brown eyes and they way they used to look into mine.

I miss your hands and the way they fit into mine perfectly.

I miss the way my heart skipped a beat when your name popped up on my phone.

I miss your obnoxious laugh and the way it wasn’t obnoxious when you were happy; a laugh I could listen to forever.

I miss the way you talk and the words you say.

I miss the nights we used to stay up talking and laughing; complete with just each other’s company.

I miss the way you used to say my name.

I miss the butterflies I would get when you walked into a room.

I miss the way I would smell like you whenever you left.

I miss the way you would brush my hair back behind my ear.

I miss your smile and the way your face lit up when you were talking about something you loved.

I miss the way your voice sounded when you first woke up.

I miss the way people knew us.

I miss you, but you’re not what I need anymore.

I don’t need sleepless nights wondering what I did wrong.

I don’t need the tears you bring me, when I never cry.

I don’t need you to ignore me when I see you at a party.

I don't need someone who tells my secrets to his buddies.

I don't need to put someone as my number one priority when I barely make their top five.

I don’t need to apologize for getting mad when you screw up.

I don't need the pounding in my chest when I hear your voice now.

I don’t need to hear from your friends that you are doing just fine without me.

I don’t need that gut wrenching feeling when I see you around or even hear your name.

I don’t need to be yours only when it's okay with you.

I don't need to hear that I never mattered.

I don't need a guy who won't acknowledge me in front of his friends.

I don't need to be taken advantage of, when you know I would do anything for you.

I don’t need to sit around waiting for you to text me back when we both know you aren't going to.

I don’t need to obsess over why she is any better than I am, because she’s not.

I don’t need you to make me feel like a half a person, like I am never good enough.

I don’t need to spend all my energy on you when I get nothing in return.

I don’t need the pit in my stomach when I see you with another girl, no one should be able to control me like that.

I don’t need you in my life; I never did.

Yes, I miss you like hell, but I damn sure don’t need you.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
