Thank you for opening my eyes to what real love is – giving but not everything, telling but without the glitters, and promising but without the unrealism of forever.
It was terrifying
I’ll be honest
Falling in love with you
Without the fireworks
Without my heart leaping out of my chest
Doubting if I was feeling anything at all.
But let’s be honest
It is in the most subtle ardency
In the most natural and comfortable state
Where true love
And not just infatuation
Is
There need not be any special occasion, milestone, or holiday for you to shower yourself with love.
You’re breathing. You, by the universe, are given the gift of life each morning you open your eyes to see the sun.
Celebrate this. Celebrate your existence.
You need not throw yourself into a pit of roaring flames
To realize that it burns
The smallest spark of a lit match is also hot to the touch.
The worst part about depression
Is familiarization with a deeper kind of sadness
Suddenly being tossed to a farther fall
Experiencing a new level of pain
At the same time a new release
Knowing that in the most desperate cries, it is
something you can always go back to.
Allow other to enter your home
But never to the extent of
Letting them destroy it.
I was never meant to fall in love with you. But then again, we always think we’re never meant to be anything else other than what we had planned on being.
In their passing
I said to myself, I will never love again
Feeling as though I have lost something
I never learned to give
Except to you
Your absence
Equipped me with the strength to carry on
Without you
Your absence
Made me realize
I’d rather not
Sorry
Isn’t meant to be dedicated repeatedly
For the same mistakes
