Milk and Honey

by Rupi Kaur

you might not have been my first love but you were the love that made all the other loves irrelevant

i’d burn you and you still couldn’t take your eyes off me cause i’d look so beautiful doing it you’d blush

when you are broken and he has left you do not question whether you were enough the problem was you were so enough he was not able to carry it

you cannot leave and have me too i cannot exist in two places at once - when you ask if we can still be friends

accept that you deserve more than painful love life is moving the healthiest thing for your heart is to move with it

i know it’s hard believe me i know it feels like tomorrow will never come and today will be the most difficult day to get through but i swear you will get through the hurt will pass as it always does if you give it time and let it so let it go slowly like a broken promise let it go

for you to see beauty here does not mean there is beauty in me it means there is beauty rooted so deep within you you can’t help but see it everywhere
