It’s been 2 years since we broke up.
They’re engaged now. I know that. I saw the photos. I even liked them.
But I still check their stories. Still reread old messages. Still imagine bumping into them, looking perfect, and them regretting everything.
I don’t want them back—I know we were wrong for each other.
But something in me just… won’t let go. It’s not about love anymore. It’s obsession.
And I’m scared it’s eating me from the inside.
