I love this line: “Likely surrendering your heart to any harlequin novel with a half-torn cover, by the looks of it.”
You have such a way with sneaking in really, really clever metaphors like they're just nothing, but that particular line just stopped me dead.
And God I know this feeling - you share a part of your life with someone and that someone taints those parts forever, whether things stay good or things go south, that is a part of your life that can never be for you alone again. There are still songs that I hear that remind me of bad relationships, but they were mine before and I want them to be mine again, so I still listen and desperately wait for the day when what I had before will come back, and wonder if it ever will.

Really good work :)
