When I stop calling your name, when I stop praying, please don’t hate me for it, find ways to bring me closer to you again softly and gently.

I’m scared to date you because guys call girls like me ‘non-chill’ or worse ‘needy’ because we love a little harder, we fall a little faster and we don’t care about how long it’s been because our hearts don’t really comprehend time.

They end when you’re scared to show them how much you need them or how you can’t imagine your life without them. They end when the ego replaces the heart.

You think everyone is like your ex. You think everyone is going to treat you the way your ex treated you or they will eventually turn out to be the same person. This mentality subconsciously stops you from giving someone a fair chance because in the back of your mind, you think that it’s only a matter of time before they break your heart.

Assuming that the other person will not be able to handle the truth. Don’t assume that the other person is too sensitive or too emotional to handle it. Even if they are, they’ll always appreciate your honesty over your lies or excuses.

They don’t know that sometimes a smile is the only way to hide your pain and sometimes it’s the only way to show that you’re not broken inside.

Maybe it’s not about attachment, maybe it’s about letting go. Maybe it’s not about finding someone to love but letting go of all the ones you loved before. Maybe it’s about redefining love and what it means to you or maybe it’s about letting go of all the remains of your heartbreak so you can love with all your heart again.

They are pessimistic about love. They don’t believe in it, they think it doesn’t exist, they think it all fades away or maybe they stopped believing in romance, they feed you negative messages about relationships and it becomes difficult for you to get these messages out of your head when you’re dating someone.
