Love doesn’t hurt. Love heals.

It’s easier to pretend then call you out on your bullshit and tell you you’ve been a dick.

It doesn’t just come in waves it comes in tsunamis that never seems to let me catch my breath.

I get tired of being let down and disappointed because we aren’t dating and you don’t have any obligation to me.

But you played games and every move you made you had her on her toes.

My only wish was he never met you because maybe then he’d still be alive.

You keep going back to the same person.

When she’s trying to love again but still hurting, she won’t see herself the way you do.

Sometimes you have to grow apart from people you love to see if there’s any hope of growing back together.

But I couldn’t keep waiting, wishing and hoping while compromising my self-respect.

You don’t have FOMO

Plans you’ve been looking forward to all week, they back out hours before with some BS excuse you accept but don’t like.

Some people questioned all the marks up and down your forearms but you were just in season. And eventually, it stopped hurting.

I’m afraid to be a girlfriend because I know I’ll love every minute of it.

The guy you deserve is the one who proudly introduces you to his friends and family and they love and accept because they’ve already heard so much about you.

But the thoughts that consume me more as time has passed are all the good memories we had.

They hate him for you because your heart can’t seem to.

And as much as you don’t want to see soft, through her love and affection you change a bit.
