The first time I saw you was when we were 17. You were just a classmate, a boy of that age full of bravado. I was the one who started liking you first, And from then on, my life revolved around you.

For a year, I was too shy to even talk to you properly. Whether it was luck or misfortune, we were in the same class the following year, and only then did I approach you.

We clicked better than expected and became a couple shortly after. Back then, I felt like you loved me so much, but thinking about it now, I'm not even sure about that.

You tried to change everything about me. My way of speaking, my makeup, my personality—everything. I adjusted everything to suit you, fearing you might leave me.

But you weren't the same. Whenever I said something to you, you always blamed me, saying, "Why are you so picky?" "You're just being too sensitive."

So I thought that if it wasn't for you, no one would be able to put up with someone as sensitive as me. I believed that only you could love me despite how I was.

Back then, you were my whole world, And in trying to fit into your world, I even forgot how to voice my own opinions.

That's how we became adults. I could have gotten into a better university, But fearing I'd grow apart from you, I followed you to the university you attended.

We started living together then. Everything was happy as long as I was with you.

Until you started coming home every night smelling like another woman's perfume.

The first time you came home with that scent on you, I screamed at you at the top of my lungs. Looking at me, all you said was, "You're just being too sensitive."

I must have loved you too much even then. I believed your words completely and fell asleep every night amidst the scent of other women's perfume.

After that, you would sometimes get heavily drunk and leave wounds on my body. I thought I could embrace even that version of you. No, I thought I had to embrace you.

Today, you came home again reeking of another woman's perfume as usual, and you left bruises on my body. No, today was a bit worse than usual.

In that moment, it felt like I'd been hit over the head. The fact that our relationship isn't normal, that the perfume you bring home every day is a reason to break up—everything pierced through my mind.

So now, I intend to cut you out of my life.
