To Be Honest

by Nelle Starling

that’s the beautiful thing about forgiveness. it has a way of showing up when you least expect it...like a long lost friend that you never thought you’d see again.

but that’s the thing about love, you don’t get to decide who stays.

that’s the thing about nostalgia, it takes you back to a time in your life that you walked away from, but it reminds you of all the reasons you wanted to stay.

i’m tired of hurting on the inside and hiding it on the outside.

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

sometimes i wonder am i free or am i lonely

your future needs you more than your past does

never shrink yourself to make them love you

i wish i could stop missing all of the past versions of people i used to love.

i’ll never forget the day i met you. you became the main character in my story and sometimes i still wonder if you might find your way back again. i was a hopeless romantic and you...

you were my right place at the right time, my dream come true, my easiest hello and my hardest goodbye.

you can’t catch up to someone who doesn’t want to walk beside you.

never forget to chase your dreams instead of people
