Always. 

Making the decision to leave someone you love is never easy.

If my heartbreak could speak, it wouldn’t utter your typical “I miss yous.”

You deserve to feel whole again. You are not worthless. You are not empty.

Finding real love after being surrounded by abuse will remind you of what it feels like to be comfortable. You won’t be constantly walking on eggshells and waiting for the next time your abuser blows up at you.

I can always tell when they are starting to lose their grip.

As the world goes through such massive changes and the career I have worked my entire life to establish crumbles at my feet, all I can think of is one word: regret.

I just want to believe that you’ll stay.

Please do not fool yourself into thinking that all you are after is closure the next time you are tempted to send that text.

Maybe I ended everything between us long before I even realized. Maybe the day I let you leave me and chose not to tell you how I really felt was actually the beginning of the end.

If we could only see ourselves the same way that we see those we love, we could be living in an entirely different world.

Lonely cups of coffee and lukewarm smiles are all that we had left.
