you are someone who has always longed for that one right person who would love you with all they have and never let you go.
but that doesn’t seem to happen for you.
you want love to stay and you try everything to make it last but you always end up being hurt by the person who doesn’t even care to ask if you are doing okay.
and even then, you keep lying to yourself every day. even then, you keep imagining a life with them ignoring everything they ever did to you.
your heart cries and hurts for accepting the truth, but you continue to kiss them on their forehead, trying to ignore the times they forgot to even hold your hands when you were feeling lost.
but no matter how much you try to run away from the truth, there comes a time when you realise that it’s better to give up on the kind of love that only makes a hole in your heart instead of making you feel complete.
because you don’t feel broken around the people who love you, you feel appreciated and loved. you don’t cry demanding love, you cry because they love you so much that your heart can’t contain it.
and if that doesn’t happen to you, it’s time that you walk away from the person who only hurts you even if you still love them. it’s time that you realise you deserve so much more than heartbreaks and disappointments. it’s time.
