But who can understand that when the person who’s been holding on for so long falls apart, they don’t fall slowly, they don’t fall in pieces, instead; they crash down rapidly in one piece paralyzing every little part of them.

After a while you’ll know the difference between someone who holds your hand and someone who touches your soul. You’ll understand that words are not contracts and promises can be broken.

You will always be the dream I can’t say out loud because I’m afraid others might run after you, I don’t want anyone to know that you exist and I don’t want anyone to know why I can’t give up on you and I’m afraid if I tell them about you, they will fall in love with you too.

And finally date someone who doesn’t make you feel like dating them is a race you need to win, that you have to compete for their attention, that you have to work on your resume so they can accept you, that you have to learn more skills so they can approve of you and date someone who thinks you’re overqualified to even participate in these ridiculous games.

Sometimes happiness is found when you cease to look for it, when you stop trying to gain things to make you feel whole, when you stop running after those who were not able to love you, when you stop putting too much pressure on controlling your fate or controlling your future and when you stop expecting happiness to manifest itself to you exactly the way you want it.

You deserve love that is real, that goes beyond double taps and likes and emojis. You deserve a sensational kind of love that soothes your heart and calms your mind. A love that doesn’t leave you guessing or questioning or wondering, a love that doesn’t make you doubt if your partner might leave you.

He’s not there for you when you need him. If he’s not there for you when you have problems, going through a hard time at work or any other time when you need his support, he doesn’t want to corner himself in the boyfriend department and he’s running away from that responsibility.

It means I miss you but I won’t tell you because it won’t change anything and because you already know.
