And you have to be
a goddamn fool to believe
that I would really be happier
without you being here with me.

"You look at yourselfin the mirror and you’reunhappy with what yousee, but I can promiseyou that..."

“You look at yourself

in the mirror and you’re

unhappy with what you

see, but I can promise

you that anyone who is

standing before you will

tell you the opposite

of what you tell yourself.

You want to be newer,

prettier, thinner, but I can

safely say that the only

thing that needs to change

is your mind. You are not

worthless, and you’ve always

been useful, so tell your

head to give your heart a break

for a couple of days. You’ve

been going through a constant

battle with your body, and all

your skin is trying to do is

love you, so love it back.

Tell it everything that the boys

who just wanted a taste told

you, because even if they

wanted you for a moment,

there has always been honesty

in their words. So repeat

those sentences to yourself.

Burn those convincing paragraphs

into your fucking skin because

you deserve to hear the truth.

You are a goddamn storm,

both beautiful and destructive.

And no one can stop you

just because they are masking

the truth with their fear.”

I want to say goodbye
to all of this pain, but I
don’t want to let you go.
And I’m not sure which
is worse: feeling empty
because of your love,
or feeling broken because
of your permanent absence.

We are better than this,
better than distance and anger
and assumptions that only
lead to pushing our hearts
farther apart. We are better than
what they have to say about
us. We are better than arguments
that only lead to someone 
leaving before anything is solved.
We are better than this,
better than cold shoulders
and not being able to look at
each other in the eye. We are
better than this, so let’s realize
this now and stop letting the
cruelty of our own selfishness
tear us into two.

How do I stop hating myself?

You stop trying to live up to others expectations of who it is they think you’re supposed to be.

Question, can I kiss you?

Only if you do it softly.

I knew that we 
were not meant to
be together when I
looked forward to
you leaving more 
than I looked 
forward to being
with you.

"We could just pretendlike this is the first timewe have ever met.But this time we couldgo into..."

“We could just pretend

like this is the first time

we have ever met.

But this time we could

go into this with a little

more knowledge than what

we had before. Maybe this

time we could put our hands

around each others hearts;

keeping the most important

vessel safe, instead of placing

our hands around each others

throats. Maybe this time

around we could create love

instead of space, and fond

memories over bitter thoughts.

Maybe this time around

we can do it right.

And even if we can’t,

maybe we can at least

end it like we did.”
