And I think the thing that terrifies me the most is that one day, you'll be the story I'll tell my daughter, when she's curled up in bed, wrapped in blankets and heartbreak, when she hasn't eaten anything in days nut the voicemails he left for her, when she hasn't been able to sleep because the goodbye that broke her shatters her bones all over again every time she closes her eyes. And I'll climb into bed with her and she'll lay her head on my lap and I'll try to brush him out of her hair and her tears will soak through my shirt and I'll tell her about the boy I met in math class, who I fell in love with after two weeks, who saved me, who destroyed me. And I'll tell her about how it hurt. It so badly it almost it almost killed me. It hurt so badly my mother stopped going to work so she could stay home and make sure I didn't take too many pills. And then I'll tell her about how it got better. How it stopped hurting. How I stopped bleeding. my mother went back to work. I got out of bed. But I wont tell her that sometimes I still have dreams about you and can hardly breathe the next day or about the pictures of you I have hidden in the attic.
