The naked truth is always better than the best dressed lie.
I'll sit on the front porch all night, waist deep in thought. Because when I think of you, I don't feel so alone.
If you love me, say it. If you trust me, do it. If you want me, show it. If you need me, prove it.
It's hard to make a decision when you're too tired to hold on and too in love to let go.
You need no one to validate your self worth.
I acted like it wasn't a big deal when really it was breaking my heart.
Steal some covers, share some skin.
When I met him, it was like a shade going up in a dark room, the light suddenly pouring in. He understood things about me, things no one else ever did, ever could. And then, just as suddenly, the room went dark again.
I want to be your only constant in this ever changing universe. Either the sun that awakens the light in your eyes, or the moon that soothes you into slumber at night. Or maybe the rings around Saturn with the way they'd find a way to gently enwrap you. Or the row of constellations you always look for to guide you back home to the place where we both know you've always belonged.
That's it. This has to stop. I have to sort myself out, take some control, because it is actually not possible to live like this. I can't do it anymore. I'm tired of crying every day, tired of spending all my time thinking about this, thinking of how good it used to be, of how things went wrong, of whether I can get this back. A person can't live like this. It's like living half a life, like living as an empty shell. I can't do it anymore. So it has to stop. Now.
Suddenly for no earthly reason I felt immensely sorry for him and longed to say something real, something with wings and a heart, but the birds I wanted settled on my shoulders and head only later when I was alone and not in need of words.
I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.
I'd rather stay quiet than explain my problems to people who don't give a fuck.
When the pain of holding on is greater than the pain of letting go, it's time to let go.
