If it’s you always making the dates and the hangouts — you should take a step back and realize you are worth more.

If you think she hasn’t written about you,
you’re highly mistaken.
If you’re of any importance at all,
she’s scribbled your name down within her pages.

I hate to tell you this: Life doesn’t give us a roadmap.

I wonder if I have ever crossed your mind, if you’ve ever thought about me, ever thought about reaching out to me, and then stopped because you know better. Or have you simply forgotten I exist, blocking me from your mind completely?

Sometimes, when we look back, we can see that paths we did choose were taken a poor time in our lives. We wish we could restart and try that path again.

The phrase “I’m an adult, I can do whatever I want” makes you want to laugh. And cry. And scream.

I do know you knew I loved you,
You told me so yourself.
But since I didn’t come around
I keep feeling like I can’t be sad that you’re gone.

We promise ourselves we are better than this. We tell ourselves we are worth more, that we deserve more.

Age doesn’t have to affect our relationships to a point of destruction if we don’t let it.

He knows the value of caring for yourself,
that to give to others you must first have something to give.
I have trouble not spending my energy on everyone else.
I’ll rip my own lungs out if it means it’ll help someone breathe.

It always felt too big to just call you a friend, or someone that I knew. You were in my head, in my bones, and in my heart in such a subtle way, that it never occurred to me that I loved you.

It’s funny to think about it. The guy who was uncommitted taught me a real lesson about commitment.
