Next thing you know it’s 3 AM and you are telling her things you never told anyone.

And the truth is as I get to know you more I see more clearly that you aren’t some perfect person I thought you were when we first met.

The truth was the only proof that you existed in my life came in the form of old pictures I hadn’t let go of.

I know you’re tired. And not just physically but emotionally drained because of everything and everything people demand of you.

It hurts me to watch you analyze details and over-think if this means something when the right person wouldn’t even let those thoughts cross your mind.

You won’t notice how much I overthink things because not everything I think comes out of my mouth. You won’t notice how often I overanalyze details.

I want to feel like you want me in your life and it isn’t just me trying for this thing.

If you ask me about overcoming a toxic relationship I use the word love to describe it

I can’t keep hoping you’ll be this person I know I deserve.

The ones who believe in love despite a lot of heartbreak.

Your name will appear in the form of a text. Asking a question this way you get an answer.

I’m done staring at a phone wondering when you’ll answer.

I analyze the length of texts and overanalyze every chosen word.

Date the girl who is honest even if it makes her look bad.

I knew maybe you weren’t ready for someone like me.

When you begin to date someone with anxiety you’ll notice how careful they are with everything they say. And you’ll notice how often they apologize.

In a world full of liars, I’ll always be honest.

I’m tired of carrying this weight on my shoulders from my past that haunts me.
