Too Good

I was finishing my dissertation for my final year at uni. Everything had been leading up to this, but with COVID and the online lectures I just couldn't motivate myself or accept that I was enough to nail it. I met this guy on tinder, we spoke every day and he motivated and pushed me towards my ability to do well in my final assignment. The overwhelming thoughts knowing I wouldn't be able to meet him for the foreseeable future played on my mind 24/7. Until we finally did meet. We had the best sex, we played cards, we laughed and danced to soul music and made eachother our favourite meals. He was the kindest, gentlest, most thoughtful boy I had ever been with. I fell in love. We bathed together, we built a den like we were kids. He asked me to be his girlfriend on the 11th of July. I planned his birthday present, I wanted to take him to Copenhagen in September. August the 3rd came round and he broke up with me. He needed space, time to study and time to see his friends at the weekend. He told me he would come back to me in October and that it wasn't for any other girl. However, I knew it was. I spoke to the girl, and she confirmed my assumptions. He left me to fuck around. 
I had my reservations about dating a guy who was 23 (2 years younger than me), but he was a master of deception and pulled the wool over my eyes. Within those short 6 months, thank you for presenting me the opportunity to love and accept myself enough to know I'm too good for you.
