I didn’t want to hurt you or be hurt by you any longer. I just wanted peace.

“

I am embodying a new definition of “single” by meeting myself where I am with complete acceptance and confidence in my wholeness.

“

I was a sinking boat that you pointed back home and I’m left here navigating the waters trying to accept you as the lighthouse instead of the shore I make it back to. 

“

Romance doesn’t die like it does in the movies.

“

I did everything I could do to erase you from me the way that you erased me from you so easily.

“

I don’t love you because you care about my family or my friends or my feelings. I don’t love you because. I simply love you.

“

What keeps you up all night? And what wakes you up gasping for air in the wee hours? What makes you want to just sleep and leave your reality for even just a little bit? 

“

When people stop looking, they drop the pressure of being a certain way to fit in with someone’s ideas of a dream partner.

“

Married friends, acquaintances, and couple-friends all run for the hills when they hear about your divorce. It’s contagious, you know.

“

I can only pray that someday you have the courage to dive into that beautiful mind and find the solid ground that is yourself, then give me the pleasure of existing alongside you. I’d love nothing more than to interact with you for the rest of my life.
