What if you leave me and I don't get to say goodbye? What if this lifetime is the only lifetime I get to spend with you? What if I spend the rest of my years wondering whether you knew how much I loved you? What if you leave me before I am ready to say goodbye?

It is so disappointing when you believe someone is going to be with you for the rest of your life, then all of a sudden they aren’t there for you anymore. I’ll always admire and support them from afar, but I wish I could be close to them again.

I hated biscuits. Could never stand them. But then one day I bought some to get change for the washing machine and you thought I liked them. So you kept on buying them for me, and I grew to love biscuits. (Via @spilledinkandtears )

He is my love

Sometimes you think you’re over it and it’s a part of the past.

But other times, life throws some salt at you and you’re forced to realize you still have wounds.

My wounds are healing, but they are still there.

I know it is my responsibility to care for them, but god do I ever resent you for giving them to me.

Salt in the Wound | November 17th, 2023

There was a time when your name made my ears perk up like a dog waiting to go outside…

As if your name, like church bells, rang on a Sunday morning

Never has happiness made me feel so light on my toes

Now your initials make me sick to my stomach, my heart screams every time you are mentioned.

No longer will your anchor keep me hostage in this sea of regret

- it’s 1:11am and suddenly it’s like you never existed

Dear Mom and Dad,

do you know that game 36 questions to fall in love? It's a stupid thing based on pseudo science. 36 questions you pose to your partner and supposedly you're in love by the end of it. It doesn't really matter. What matters is one particular question that's been haunting me: If you could change a thing about your upbringing what would it be?

I've been pondering it for years. Gone back and forth on my answer. I'd thought: I would treat my children more equally, try to limit the favoritism and gender roles as much as possible. I'd thought: I would burden my children with less of my personal problems, not misuse insecure teenagers as my counslors as much. But recently I thought my answer would be: I would show more emotion, more love around the house.

Don't get me wrong. I've had a beautiful childhood. I've felt safe and secure at home. I always knew I could come to you with my problems. I would even call my childhood loving. You showed me love by fulfilling my wishes, by taking me places. And yet you've never once told me you loved me.

I can't even remember you told each other that you loved them.

And even now when I tell you I love you. There's this hesitation in your voice when you say "love you too". A small doubt that creeps up whenever you say it. As of you're not quite sure what love is. And maybe that is why I myself have such a fucked up relationship with love. Because not even my own parents seem to know whether they love their children or not.

i was sitting on a park bench the same one that i’ve sat at and cried many times and watched children play and watched couples go on dates i was sitting with my legs crossed my feet tucked under my knees i was talking to my sister and i had no sign of wavering until my voice cracked and trembled and threatened to break when i told her, “I’ve had to ask someone to love me right before and it hurt so much when they didn’t it made me think i didn’t deserve it. i’m not putting myself in a situation to love someone so much that i can forgive that again.”

n.c. // I love unconditionally and im learning that isn't always a good thing

"Let the angels rain from the heavens like falling stars, let it rain kindness upon broken hearts.. let me fall in love with life, like every falling star that falls in the night.."

Let my soul grow, flow and flower.. let me smile a bit more during sad boi hours - eUë excerpt from my new book

There were no flowers left. No card to display. There was no breakfast in bed. No celebration. There were no words said. Instead, the children went on with their day - laughed & played amongst those who raised them. But, the one they wanted most never made it home to greet them..

i wore makeup 'cause i thought i would be pretty to you

i changed the way i dressed and my style just for you

'cause then maybe you'd like me more if i fit in with you

you had a whole list of things you wanted to do

you told me all the things you wanted us to do

all the things you wanted me to do with you too

i tried so hard to be someone you would like and maybe love too

but even then that wasn't enough for you

...

i don't think you noticed the words that slipped out of your mouth

all the things you wanted and all the plans we talked about

were all the things you did with someone you loved before

and all the things you saw in me were what you saw in her too

i don't think you felt anything that you said you did before

all i was wasn't enough for you to not just see her too

...

i wrote a whole list of things i wanted to remember about you

i learned all your favorite things and went along with you

and when you told me all the things you were struggling with

i let you do what you needed and take what you wanted from me too

'cause i just wanted to be enough for you

i just wanted to be enough for you

...

i don't think you know how much i wished it was you

i don't think you know how much i wanted it to work with you

i don't think you know how much those 100 days broke my heart too

all i ever wanted was to be enough for you

but nothing i could do would be enough for you

and all i just wanted was to be enough for you

enough for you

...

enough for you // to people i liked when i was 18

"Sometimes I want to ruin myself all over again. Step through the doors to my past. Rip open old scars. Drench myself in familiar pain and drown in the agony until all I can feel is my heart pounding out the same old tune. Let me go. Let me go. Let me go."

is there a bittersweetness to unrequited love or am i romanticizing this because it’s all i’ve ever known

a home with you

When the sky starts to darken and the hue turned blue and purple,

So does my heart, brewing a concoction of fear, anxiety and loneliness

The way I can feel it shrinking with every minute pass

I wish the day would go a little bit slower, the earth would spinning just a little bit less

It's scary being alone, and its even scarier when you're used to not being alone

Sometimes I resent the way I feel when I'm with you

Content, happy and utterly blissful

Because when you're back, working, at the end of the world, and I'm back, studying, at the other end of the world

It felt like all of those fuzzy feelings was ripped out and burned to the ground

A cycle that kept repeating everytime you left

Well, not entirely true

I'm being a little bit dramatic to be honest, but my heart still hurt nonetheless

And maybe, today, it hurt a bit more

Cause I caught a glimpse of our future, and I can't help but think, oh how delightful it is when we're finally together at our home
