Rania Naim

You’re tired of pretending you’re okay. You’re tired of saying there is nothing wrong with you when there is, you’re tired of having to lie to people about what’s going on and you’re tired of pretending to be strong and smiling when all you want to do is cry. You wish you could just let everyone know what’s wrong with you so they can leave you alone but you know that’s not possible.

I want us to know each other first before we let the world know about us. Because as much as I want to show you off to the world, I have noticed lately, that the world has a way of taking beautiful things and turning them ugly.

Tonight, I’m going to make you go home questioning my intentions, questioning if I care, reading too much into what I’m saying, confused about what I meant when I said this and what I was trying to tell you when I said that and I will make you stay up all night thinking about me.

Don’t believe someone when they tell you they’re not ready, they are but they just haven’t met the right person yet. No one can decide if they’re ready or not because love is not something you can control.

Spend more time with people who teach you how to be better, dream bigger and love harder.

I’d rather be the girl who tried and failed instead of the girl who played it safe. I’d rather be the girl who fell instead of the girl who never dared to jump.

I’m done wondering if you’ll call or not. I no longer wish it was you whenever the phone rings. I’m done waiting for your text, I’m done waiting for your apology and I’m done waiting for you to show me that you still care. I’m done waiting for you.

I left you because your honesty started to sound more like lies and you no longer cared to hear the truth.
