Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you. Then one stupid person, no different than any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life… You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like ‘maybe we should just be friends’ turns into a glass splinter working it’s way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
I found a lump under my armpit. Gross right? Yea kind of… But scary too. Luckily I have an appointment tomorrow (not for the lump) but I’m still more uneasy than I probably should be.
Happy fathers day to the person that is the reason I take a few too many Xanax and gave me nothing but scars.
If you were mine I’ll make sure to text/call you good morning and goodnight. If we encounter arguments, I’ll stop & listen then find a way to make it up to you. If I ever make you cry, I’ll hold onto you & wipe your tears. I’ll go places you want me to go, just to spend time with you. I want to go places we never went either. I’ll also include you in the things I do because I would never want to make you feel left out or excluded, just wanted. We don’t have to spend a lot of time together, just enough for us work. I would never cheat on you or abuse you. I’ll reassure that I’ll be there and help you with any problems you have even if we become friends again. I will always make time for and never ignore you. I won’t be like your past ex’s, I won’t say anything I don’t mean. I’ll make sure we work out as long as you promise to hold on to me and I’m the reason why you are happy. I can’t promise forever but the feeling of it will be. I just want to be the reason why you won’t go looking for anyone else.
Yeah.
