You fall out of love with someone slowly, much more slowly than you fell in love with them. Falling out of love comes in stages.

You feel every emotion in one; heartbreak, rejection, confusion, nostalgia, wistfulness, anguish. You feel broken. You will want to hang on to something, even thought deep down you know that there is nothing left to hold on to. You overthink for a while, and then you finally accept that you weren’t right for each other.

You spend some time apart, and you begin to see the light again. You start to stop thinking about them constantly, and the echo of their haunting voice in your mind dissipates. Their eyes, their smile, you start to forget them. But a part of them is still with you.

You learn how to live life without them again. You start to remember who you were before them, and you will accept that you have changed after them. You will see that you are a new person. You will pick up the pieces that were left broken on the floor. You will mend yourself.

You will realise that you’re perfectly fine on your own, and you are happy. You will be whole again. You will realise that you are all you need.

Getting over someone that you don’t want to get over may be one of the hardest things to do, particularly because a part of you wants to hang on and not let go.

You will need courage. That beautiful feeling of first having a crush, and then becoming infatuated and falling in love will make you want to continue as you are. You will need to be strong and tell yourself that getting over that person is the best thing for you.

You will need willpower. Deciding to try and get over someone is one thing, but sticking to that decision is something you need willpower for. You will feel like giving up and giving in, like letting yourself go and letting yourself fall back into that feeling of infatuation, and you need to push yourself not to.

You will need patience. Getting over someone won’t happen overnight, and you will need perseverance. It will be a difficult process, and you will feel heartbroken, emotional and nostalgic. You will feel like you’re losing that person, even though they’re right there. You will feel separated, and this is why you will be yourself.

You will need your own self to help you through. You will need to distract yourself, by living a life that you don’t need that person for. You will need to continue going on without them, and eventually you’ll be happier without them.

Hello, my lovelies.

First of all, I would like to apologise for my very, very late replies to you all. My inbox is currently filled with messages that I haven’t had a chance to reply to, and I promise I will be doing so very shortly! I would also like to apologise for my lack of posts. I will be posting lots from now on; lots of new inspiration and new poems and quotes!

I’ve been working on a few very exciting things, which you will all hear about very soon. I have also made an Instagram account (thoughtsofthedeepeststems) if anyone wants to follow me there! As you can see, I’ve also made myself a new logo and I’ve been changing up my theme to reflect the new content coming; lots of new stuff coming for you!

For now, here’s a recent poem I’ve redrafted from 2016!

I’m so so sorry everyone, and I promise I’ll get back to everyone very soon! Thanks for being patient and sticking with me.

Taurus: If I ever find greater comfort in the dark, I want it to be with you.

Cancer: I want to hold the words you're made of, even if it means holding your silence too.

Gemini: What good is sunlight without something to touch? Darling, we were never meant to last, we were meant to happen.

Leo: This isn’t an I miss you. This is my heart from different lives all colliding at once and making a mess all over the universe

Scorpio: The amount of sunlight she carries within her could make any season feel like summer.

Sagittarius: Every night i stare up at the sky and try to catch glimpses of you.

Virgo: How do we tell ourselves that we are nothing to each other while our hearts feel like it's everything they’ve ever wanted?

Libra: I’m a cathedral of almosts, infected with a moonlight I can’t return without the shadow of your hand behind me.

Capricorn: You’ll find me right where you left me - in your heart.

Aquarius: & though lonely is the longest word, sometimes there is no other explanation other than it hurts.

if you’re committed 

tell me

don’t make me guess, or assume.

i’m tired of looking,

feeling,

like a fool

as i wait for you to remember
