I think I was the other woman once only. I had been the one cheated on and then I was getting my revenge. She had been the other woman and then I was. I don't think she ever knew. Times and times again I thought about this letter she would get in the mail, the letter that I would explain everything. The letter that would make her feel as worhtless as I once did. Instead I chose silence. I won in silence. I won for myself alone.
I talked to her on the phone a year later and said I forgave her. Yet in the back of my mind I was all victorious. 11 years later I know there was nothing to feel victorious about. I played the game and she didn't even know a game was going on. In my silence I didn't give her a chance to win or lose.
I don't want to be the other woman ever again.
