My Sappy Shit.

We couldn’t dance together- our souls vibrated differently. We were midnight runaways and deep conversations in the middle of parties. We were too shy to kiss in front of strangers and I should have seen the warning signs when we started fighting in the middle of the rain. I should’ve sensed it whenever you gave me your sweaters and told me about past lives that made me doubt my definition of living. You turned my world into something else and left me- but I still smell like tea and cigarettes

your relationship doesn’t have to be toxic to be a bad one. it can be unfulfilling, exhausting, loveless. and someone doesn’t have to be terrible to you for you to leave them. if you aren’t primarily happy in your relationship, you have a valid reason to not be in it. don’t beat yourself up because your situation “could be worse.” if it isn’t what you want, you don’t have to stay in it.
