Where have you been?

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

“i have that kind of sadness that never really ever goes away. it just gets covered up by the sun on those days where im distracted but when the sun goes down i feel the emptiness crawling onto me through my bed sheets and into my spine, i still try to understand how i can be so happy but if you look into my eyes you can spot the sadness that is hidden by my strength. i guess what im trying to say is i come off strong but my body is weak and my soul is damaged but i cover it up with the strength in my mind but it’s taking over me and im becoming way too weak.”
