I Wish I Could Be All That You Needed

I wish I could be the one to build a future with you. To laugh together at our failed attempts at putting together Ikea furniture. To sleep on a cold mattress together, but only needing the heat from each other.

The Difference Between True Love And Attachment

Attachment is easy. Because it isn’t real. It’s just a blurry line of insecurities and self hatred. Love is fighting. It is having real arguments about real life. It is seeing this person’s flaws and accepting them. It is real work.

Why Saying ‘I Love You’ Is Never Enough

I know that if you truly love me, you’ll be able to show me. You’ll be able to say I love you in everything that you do. And you won’t need to shout it out to me. You won’t even need to whisper it in my ear. Because I will already know. Real love is so much more than those three words.

If You Love Me, Don’t Let Me Get Away

If you love me, don’t let me get away. Don’t let me give up on us. Don’t let me keep writing sad poems about you. Don’t let our history turn into dust.
