“The hardest thing about changing yourself is changing how other people see you.”

“I still think about you a lot but not in the heartbreaking, head turning, bed tossing, aching kind of way. It’s more of an acceptance, a closure - where we happened and it was real for a moment. And now we no longer are. Flowers don’t keep growing. They wither and petals fall, and new ones take their place. Same flower bed, new flowers.”

“It doesn’t matter how much I meant to you, because in the end you still left.”

“He told me that we couldn’t fix what was already broken. I told him that broken crayons still color. He said no one wants to deal with that. It’s much easier to just find new crayons. Throw the old ones away. And you wonder why I still feel like trash.”

“Constantly torn between “He just made a few mistakes” & “You don’t treat someone you love that way. Ever.””

“He doesn’t love me, I’m just good for his ego”

“Ignore me, it’s cool. But when i move on , don’t say shit”

I’m angry with you, but I’m not going to lie; I miss you, and no matter what I do you’re never off my mind.

“Why does my mood depend on whether you talk to me or not. Why does it hurt when you seem cold with me? When all I do is tell myself I don’t love you.”

“I love you. I’m not IN love with you, but I love you. And I know I would treat you so much better than how you’re being treated. But I want you in certain ways. I don’t want to be committed to you, but I don’t want to share you. I don’t want to be with anyone else but I don’t want to be tied down to you. I just want to be us. No one else but us. And that will never be.”
