“I want you to hold my hand while we grocery shop. I want you to play with my hair while we watch our favorite tv shows. I want you to kiss me in the middle of my sentence because you wanted to taste my words. I want you to rub my back as we fall asleep. I want you to play my favorite song when I look sad. I want you to do these things without having to think about them. Do them because you love me.”

“Sometimes, you do things and you do them not because you’re thinking but because you’re feeling. Because you’re feeling too much. And you can’t always control the things you do when you’re feeling too much.”

and then comes the loss and then comes calm – and then the horror.

I kept hearing that ‘better to have loved and lost’ bull[crap]. Another falsehood. Trust me, it is not better. Don’t show me paradise and then burn it down.

“It’s sad that you can’t see it.” “See what?” She asked. “The fact that you’re enough, even when you think you’re not.”

I spoke to you today after months of silence and days of constant heartache and missing You apologised but said you didn’t have any excuse You told me you haven’t been happy since our last happy conversation You told me what we had was very precious and so damn rare I told you that I still love you. Of course I do. I told you but I don’t respect you and I can’t ever trust you. You cried and told me love is important I cried too and said it is but not only when you fancy And then I heard you plead like a scared little child, ‘Please! Please stay’ And in that moment I thought to myself ‘Why the hell not?’ Until I heard my heart whisper timidly at first and then scream with rage ‘Leave. I don’t want to be broken again’

I wonder if I ever meant anything to you, but then I remind myself that I cannot bring into perspective the words you’ve never said.

They will never appreciate you and they will never stop taking from you. Yes, you still love them and yes, they will plead you to stay when it dawns upon them that you are finally protecting yourself, finally doing something for yourself - finally leaving the toxic person that they are. But they aren’t asking you to stay because they love you. No, they are asking you to stay because they know they aren’t going to find another selflessly giving and patiently understanding person like you who loves so very lavishly.

You don’t have to be good all the times. It’s okay to be hurt sometimes. It’s okay to feel lost like you’re wandering around in the dark. It’s the bad days that make the good ones so much better.

Brittainy C. Cherry, The Air He Breathes (via books-n-quotes)
