Having you and being loved by you would imply that I could also lose you. I don’t want to know what that would feel like, because I know that your absence would come with a lot of pain. 

As much as I enjoy hoping, I have wasted too much time wishing instead of living my life and finding someone who dreams about me in the way I’ve dreamt of you since the day we met. 

You were never good enough for me and I realize that now.

If you ever felt the need to go, it would hurt, but I would suffice because the love you’ve given me is enough to last me for twelve lifetimes. 

You love the girl with long brown hair and a beautiful laugh that could stop every man in his tracks, and I can’t compete with her.

I want to hide nothing from you.

I had forgotten what breathing fresh air felt like. I had forgotten what it was like to prioritize my own happiness. 

Loving someone is giving bits and pieces of your heart to someone who may not appreciate the gesture or care enough to replace those pieces with pieces of their own.
