- Rebound -
The last time a boy told me that he liked me, I ended up as a rebound. It wasn't his fault—it was mine. My stupid heart believed him when he told me what he felt; even if my mind screamed otherwise.
I did felt that it was wrong, but when I think about relationships, it made me realize that in this insane world, perhaps we all were each others' rebounds. Because relationships were a constant cycle; when one ended, another began. And whoever you left behind in that past relationship was history, whoever you found in the new one was your rebound. And eventually along the way, you saw that person as something more than just a rebound.
But then, suddenly, he stopped. He told me it wasn't gonna work. One excuse turned into a bundle of them, and it left me trapped in a dark room with no idea where the exit was. His words bouncing back and forth the unseen walls.
And then I realized. In this insane world, it was easy to fool a lonely heart with just words. And this stupid little heart of mine, fell for every bittersweet word that escaped his lips.
