Don’t get too close.

don’t want to be
the one who has to
say that I told you so.

I will always love you,
 even when you say
that you no longer
 feel love for me.

And that should
 show you just how
much you really do

Don’t try to fall in love
because you are lonely,
or because you want to
prove to the person who hurt
you that you no longer
feel the pasts pain.

But fall in love when you
feel ready to surrender
your heart to the one
who calls the inside
of your arms their home,
and your body a haven.

I would have done
anything for you.
I would have been
anyone for you.
I would have made
everything for you.
But I will not
ruin myself for you.
Because your love
is not worth
the trouble of
changing.

I wanted us to work out
so badly. Can’t you see
that all I have ever wanted
was just beneath your fingers,
just beneath your skin, just
beneath the bones and marrow.
Your heart is what I crave,
what I long for. Your heart
is the only thing
that keeps me coming
back for more.

"I learned the hard wayhow it feels to lose someonewho promised you that theywould never..."

“I learned the hard way

how it feels to lose someone

who promised you that they

would never leave.

And how it feels to remember

someone who works

their very hardest to forget

about you. There is nothing

worse than falling in love

with someone who hardly

knows how to love themselves.

It’s a feeling that you cannot

rid of by simply forcing

your affections upon the person

who believes that love

is nothing but a lost cause.

So instead of loving someone

who would rather have you

in the back in their mind

than on the inside of their heart,

learn to love someone

who not only puts you before

their self-absorbed fixations,

but who is able to see you

in the same light

that your love has shed

upon their life.”

I miss the wayyou used to make me feel.But I do notmiss you.

I miss the way
you used to 
make me feel.
But I do not
miss you.
