To not reply

A while back I got into a really bad breakup with someone. I had trusted them to not cheat, had given them so many avenues and ways to not cheat and yet they still found a way to cheat and still found a way to break my heart. Well, I moved on relatively easily after that. Having disdain and a desire to "get back" at someone can make the heart grow cold to who they were. So I moved on, I  found self happiness than I found external happiness. So I wrote on it and made a post about how happy I was and how giddy life currently was for me.

Then she sent me a message, saying how it was funny that I realized some things and that she was glad how stuff happened and that things went down how they did. That she thought I was better off for what happened and that she was too. I kinda laughed at that and asked myself, how do I reply? I didn't know, so I asked my friends. How do I reply to her? This girl who did such a thing to me than sends me this message? My friend looks at me and decides to tell me a story.

She tells me of a time when she and her boyfriend broke up. How after  a couple weeks he sent her a similar message and that she didn't reply to it. After a couple of months they saw each other at a party. Time had passed, hearts had healed and they talked. Eventually he brought up the message that she never replied to saying that her reply was so powerful and potent that it couldn't have come accross better. She looks at him stupidly, she had never sent him a reply. To which he smiles and nods his head affirming that. He said that her lack of a physical word based reply to that message after her relationship with him was a more potent and powerful message than any message that she could have ever said to him.

So, I never replied to that girl either. The message was sent loud and clear I believe after all this time. We have seen each other once or twice since that message, a text exchanged and finally an agreement made to break contact for the sake of one another. The message sent loud and clear.

I received another message this day, a message asking for something that I can't help but chuckle at and was going to give regardless of the message. I am incapable to do anything other than what you ask, I told you that... perhaps in your betrayal and discovery of finding out what you are truly capable of, you forgot what it was I am incapable of. Hatred.
