here for now

My darling girl. I couldn’t be more apologetic for being so blind and further adding to your burden. Your fickle heart is made of something so much more purer than gold, and I am sorry it has taken me this long to realise. You are all smiles on the outside, but on the inside I know you’re tearing at the seams. I just wish you had told me this yourself. Sisters tell each other everything, so why not this?

Once again, you’ve given someone your all, and you’ve been left with nothing. Please don’t let this stop you from ever giving someone so much. For there are others out there worthy of what you have to offer. I know it’s hard, your ego is your shield and your laughter your disguise, but as you always say holding it in will slowly eat you away.

We can’t always control who we fall in love with. I know you believe in a “one true love” but baby girl I want you to know that he was not the one. True love is unconditional, two sided and most of all so pure and intimate. It’s better you know now, that he couldn’t give you what you deserve, but do not be bitter; appreciate his honesty and support him on his journey.

“Eat Your Heart Out” is a series of words remembered from break-ups reimagined as something sweet.
