Now That You Mention It

by Kristan Higgins

You wonder how much abuse you can take and still love someone. You wonder how long they can treat you like nothing but still want them back. You wonder how many years it will take to forget how things used to be, how long you’ll burn yourself with that tiny ember of hope before the deluge of their neglect drowns it.

“sometimes it takes a few years before you understand what you’re worth. And who’s worth your time.”
