My mind has a lot of turbulence going through it and it felt almost absurd to smile.

I should say sorry ahead of time, so this is me saying sorry now.

I found the guy who wants to know about my past and wants to be a part of my future.

I should have known he loved me when he left flowers at my doorstep ‘just because it was Thursday’.

When I turned eighteen, I met a guy with beautiful eyes and broad shoulders.

He might have said things that he will never be able to take back, but he left me scars that dug deeper than words ever did.

I hurt him because I couldn’t love him back, no matter how strong his love was.

That day I learned that love wasn’t invincible.
