A Process.

“Having someone who understands your mind is another way to be intimate.”

So why do you think you are suited to this position?

“Dear you, sometimes we have to let go of someone who matters to us not because we want to but because we have to, and it’s the right thing to do. Let us remember that we can’t force anyone to love us, we can’t beg someone to stay when he wants to leave and be with someone else, and sometimes this is what life teaches. Letting go of things that is already out of hand.”

real love is not like the poetry. it is not i love you spat down each other’s throats or finding a reason to live again because you found this one person. It is so much simpler than that. real love is telling them to go back to sleep because it is still early and you know they need it, even if you want them to be awake with you. It’s realizing it won’t always be easy but still choosing them every day and wanting to be the very best for them. that’s it, it’s not as deep as you think.

This is your reminder that if someone uses the words “that was a test/I was testing you/you passed” in reference to their weird behavior or to brush off a fight you had with them?

“Oh, honey, I truly thought that maybe I could have held on for us both. Honestly, you could have kept your head above the waves, but ‘that’s no fun’. You need to suffocate to feel okay. And, baby, I should let go, but I, too, like submerging my heart until my heartache melts into pain and we’re dancing mindlessly in the middle of the street.”

“Even when you hurt me, I declared that I loved you beyond reason as if it justified the pain you inflicted. But one day I realized there really was no reason, so I stopped loving.”

“He was like a dark painting among many colorful paintings, one that everyone noticed but no one appreciated.”
