I’ve Been a Fool by Renee Williams

As the great Miles Jaye once sang, “I’ve been a fool for you, but it’s over now.”

I didn’t care how much I loved a man. There came a time when you had to realize sugar, honey, ice tea wasn’t sweet. It was disgusting and swallowing bull crap wasn’t part of my life plan. I needed to let him go. I needed to find myself again. I had to do what any sane woman knew from the moment they started dating a man. I had to protect my mental. He was slowly killing me, and that wasn’t an option. I was too good. I was too strong to let him break me even if I had allowed him to bend me a little. I couldn’t afford to worry about anybody’s feelings but my own even if it meant keeping a secret that I knew would hurt everyone once everything came to light.

I messed up. I knew it too, but I had dug a hole so deep that climbing out of it was going to take all of my strength and endurance. However, I was willing. She was worth it. I knew she thought she had been a fool for me, but I was a fool for her too. Didn’t that make us equal? I needed to prove to her that I was willing to do whatever to win her love back because some treasure was worth whatever price you had to pay to gain them.
