abandoned, too

What an incredibly mature sentiment. I would give anything to think that my ex feels this way and can examine her own behavior, and take some onus for the breakup, like you did here.

Did you really think I'd let you dictate everything that I could be?

I don't love you anymore, but I'm still consumed by you. It wouldn't make a difference what the answer was, but if I knew whether you still think about me, or feel any pangs of guilt for the way you acted at the end, it would make me feel better. If you were guiltless, I could finish writing you off as the vapid, heartless scum that you have demonstrated yourself to be turning into. If you feel bad, or ever think fondly of the three years we lived together and shared our lives, it would assuage my mind somehow. I don't want to get back together. I just want to know that I meant something to you. That, even if you still stand by your decision to throw away our relationship the way you did, you occasionally doubt your choice or feel like you made some mistakes along the way. I don't want to think that I was with someone for so long, who could be as heartless as you appeared at the end. But, certain things that you've done and actions you have exhibited in the aftermath lead me to believe that your silence does not necessarily indicate that you have moved on -- in fact, it appears that your life is in the deepest turmoil since before we met. Good.

Bobby, My ex pulled this exact same thing on me. It's just bitter rationalizing... eventually they realize they're wrong, trust me.

Threw you the obvious, And you flew with it on your back, A name in your recollection Down among a million same Difficult not to feel a little bit Disappointed and passed over When I look right through To see you naked but oblivious And you don't see me But I threw you the obvious just to See if there's more behind the Eyes of a fallen angel Eyes of a tragedy Here I am expecting just a little bit Too much from the wounded But I see, seeing through it all Seeing through, see you 'Cause I threw you the obvious to See what occurs behind the Eyes of a fallen angel Eyes of a tragedy, oh well Oh well Apparently nothing Apparently nothing at all You don't, you don't, you don't see me You don't see me You don't You don't see me at all
