She was always the first to love, first to encourage, first to forgive...for everyone but herself.

Falling in love with you was out of my control, but I do have a say in what happens next. And, I will choose to stay in love with you through everything this life throws at us.

Find a love that listens even when you’re not saying anything, that knows the infinite ways
you express yourself in silence, and can interpret the quiet as though you’re screaming to be heard.

It’s like a broken bone that never healed quite right. An ache that I feel on cold days when the chill of your memory dances up and down my spine, taunting me with the way it can still induce pain, even after all this time.

I look forward to the day that I can feel nothing but indifference for you. Just like you were able to do from the moment that you walked away.

I am worth more than these excuses. I am worth more than this inconsistent, unhealthy, disappointing dynamic. I am worthy of finding someone that is never going to allow us to settle into this toxic, distorted version of love.
