Set Fire to the Rain: A Jemi one shot

I ran my fingers along the last picture I had left of us. A tear slowly slipped down my face as I thought about the past.
I remember the first time we kissed. I had felt like everything was over but when he kissed my lips it felt like everything was going to be ok. From that moment I knew he was someone special. I remember the time he wrapped his arms around me and just held me as I cried for hours. He told me he'd always be there for me but he really proved it that night. I remember the time we laid down and looked at the stars. We were wishing on them, but I closed my eyes because I knew nothing could've gotten better than that moment with him.
Sometimes I wish he'd call me and ask for another chance. Sometimes I wish he'd walk through my door and kiss me, letting me know everything is alright. Sometimes I wish he loved me again. But then I remember he never really did. And then I start to think about everything else in our relationship. I think of the parts I try to ignore, the truth.
I remember all the lies he told me. I would pretend to believe them because I didn't want to believe the truth. I remember all the arguments. He always had to be right and make me feel like crap afterward. I remember the times he'd ignore my calls. He just didn't feel like talking to me. I remember all the times I'd see him flirting with other girls. He'd end up getting mad at me for being jealous. I remember him telling me he loves me but now he claims he never did. Most of all, I remember the day he broke my heart, destroying my world.
Now I sit by the fireplace and burn all the memories I have of us. I'm crying not because I miss the old us, but because I now know I was lied to the whole time and my happiness was based on lies. I took the last picture of us and threw it into the fire. The flames jumped up and I watched the picture slowly melt away. Along with letting go of the pictures, I also let go of him.
Joe claimed that he'd never hurt me, but that was a lie. He told me he loved me, but clearly he didn't. He swore we'd be together forever, but that dream faded. I swore I'd never forget him, but I will. I said I'd always love him, but I won't. I believed he'd be the one, but he's not. And right now I'm ok with that because I deserve better and he doesn't deserve someone as good as me.
