Diana:
I wanted to say I would never hurt you in the ways T. did. But I know I have already, in my own. But while he took solace in your mutual pains, I have been trying since that day to close the wound, to treat it and help it heal so that some day you can barely find a scar to show people, while I’m still hiding the one I gave myself that day. Hopefully, for his sake, T. will someday learn to replace pain with pleasure. Then, with luck, while we sit in each others’ arms, spending yet another lazy weekend in bed together watching movies and discussing how this all almost never was, he will be doing the same with someone who can make him happy as well and move on.
D.
