To Be Honest

by Nelle Starling

you deserve a shout it from the rooftops kind of love. a slow kind of love. a dance in the middle of the street under the stars kind of love, an i will catch you if you fall kind of love. a shoulder to cry on kind of love. a flowers just because kind of love. an if you hurt, i hurt, kind of love. a dream come true kind of love. an i’m sorry i was wrong kind of love. anything less is not worth your time. anything less does not deserve to hold your heart.

my eyes can see the sun because of you and i hope i’m able to give you as much light as you have given me.

my head: i don’t think this is a good idea. my heart: but what if it is?

if i smile while i’m sleeping it’s because i’m dreaming of you.

if you start to fall, you can lean in my direction because i promise i’m not going anywhere unless it’s with you.

i will take my time loving you, because what i know for sure is that i want this to last forever.

i need to learn how to stop looking for a love that doesn't know how to find me. i don't want what doesn't want me

forgetting is so hard when remembering is so easy.

the truth is, i don’t talk about it anymore, but that doesn’t mean it stopped hurting.

the sad thing about forever is that i believed it could happen to us.

you were my everything, but you didn’t know how to let me be yours.

it’s okay to heal even if they don’t tell you they’re sorry.

i hope you know i never wanted us to end. i hope you know it’s okay that we did.

never apologize for the way you put yourself back together after they broke you.

how can you heal if you keep pretending that everything is okay?

some people are a lesson to learn from instead of someone that you get to keep.

i learned to stop saying sorry for things that were not my fault.

there’s a reason why saying goodbye is so much harder than hello

without you i can barely breathe, but knowing you is the reason i can.

your happiness is sacred. don't give yourself away to people who don't know how to care for you.

i promise that the sun is shining even if you can't feel it.

i gave you my heart because i knew that it didn't belong anywhere else.
