Several months ago I broke up with a boy.

Just a boy.

A boy I used to know.

A boy I used to care about.

A boy I used to laugh with.

A boy who used to own my heart.

Until he broke it in his hands and gave it back.

'I love you'

The boy lied.

Do you want to know how we parted ways?

By text.

Do want to know what my response was?

It went a little something like this:

'One day you will cry for me,
Like I cried for you.

One day you will miss me,
Like I missed you.

One day you will need me,
Like I thought I needed you.
 

One day you will love me,
But I won't love you.'

Today, the boy asked for my heart back.

Do you know what?

I'm so happy that I was right.

Life is strange isn't it? I used to fear so much that I would see this boy in the street and carry on walking as if I never knew him. But now I can't think of a better situation. I moved on.

He has no name.

He has nothing.

Because he is just a boy.

Don't waste your time wondering 'What If?' over one person. Because in the end, there are 7 billion others on this planet. Who cares about one person? If they make you feel sad, then they're not worth being around.

Live your life.

Be happy.

Love those who love you back.

Laugh when you can and smile through the tears.

He is just a boy.
