Be Careful Who You Date

When I was a lot younger, I dated a guy so refreshing to my whole being that I think I don't deserve him. We had a whirlwind romance. We made out like a few times ever since we met and got together for just about a few days.

The time I was going back to my hometown after fetching and packing all my stuff from my dorm room, he volunteered to accompany me and this is what I regretted the most.

If I could have just went straight to the terminal and told him that I already left, we wouldn't have been in a motorcycle accident which left me and my Mom scarred forever. I don't regret having a scar from it but it turned my world upside down. Mom began to distrust me because of that and it hurt me more than anything. My thought that I deserved him changed to remorse as I stayed longer with him.

He was not the one I knew he was. I learned to distrust him and in time got angry with myself for liking him more no matter how bad of a match we are. He doesn't understand my goals and our future together but just our present. I cannot live with a man like that. He's jobless as I am at the time and he doesn't think of employing to one as I have the plan to go find one for myself to sustain myself.

Leaving him may be a breath of fresh air but it also got harder to move on from him because of how good he was before the fall happened.

If I can rewrite this one back, I would have stopped myself from being a daredevil to date him in the first place so both of us did not get hurt at all.
