My mind has a lot of turbulence going through it and it felt almost absurd to smile.

I should say sorry ahead of time, so this is me saying sorry now.

I found the guy who wants to know about my past and wants to be a part of my future.

I should have known he loved me when he left flowers at my doorstep ‘just because it was Thursday’.

When I turned eighteen, I met a guy with beautiful eyes and broad shoulders.

He might have said things that he will never be able to take back, but he left me scars that dug deeper than words ever did.

I hurt him because I couldn’t love him back, no matter how strong his love was.

That day I learned that love wasn’t invincible.

I can’t make you disappear if you’re still lingering in the air.

I could only hope that one day I, too would experience the love I witnessed.

He wanted to know what I was afraid of, what my favorite Disney movie was, what my top five songs were, and what made me smile in the simplest way. I think that ’s when I knew that he was someone I could easily fall in love with.

You’re not ready for
adventures that keep you from sleep.

Someone who wants to work out with you and eat a tub of Nutella with you on a Friday night.

We believed that love was enough, that’s where we went wrong.
