Déjà vu

I loved you and you broke my heart. You led me on and left me dangling on empty promises. You chose her over me and didn’t even have the decency to tell me before I ran into the both of you at a mutual friend’s birthday.

A few years pass, your relationship with her didn’t work out and we find ourselves thrown together on a camping holiday, the first bit of normality post lockdown. It started with your hand lingering on my waist and before I know it, we are gravitating towards each other. Now we’re texting daily and you’re asking me if I want to meet up.

Everyone is telling me this is a terrible idea. You have a terrible track record of whirlwind relationships that start off with rose tinted glasses. You threw me away before but now want to come back into my life like nothing happened. I am no ones second choice. But I can’t help falling for you all over again.

You say this is different. But how do I know I’m not making the same mistake again?
