“You said you wanted to stay friends and I laughed through the cracks in my teeth because here’s the thing: we were never friends. we were in love the second we met, fucking on your best friends floor the first night you saw me. we were never friends I was the ocean and you were the moon, pulling at me until I drowned in myself and loved you forever. we were never friends we were husband and wife. we were married thousands of years before, in another life, in harder times, we died in each others arms. Like lovers, not like friends. we were never friends I couldn’t get your kiss out of my fucking head. we were never friends, we saw stars in each other’s eyes and lit match after match to relight them when they burned out. I couldn’t let you go. we were never friends, you never called me to “hang out” you showed up at my door and underneath my window to hold me in your arms until I melted. we were never friends, friends don’t make you fall in love and then leave because they like the sound of your begging, tear cracked voice. friends don’t kiss you over and over again until you can’t go a day without it and then cut you off and smile at you anyway. friends don’t break you just because their father left when they were little and it’s all they know. friends don’t want you dead, and you knew this would kill me.”
— You said you wanted to stay friends (via extrasad)
lately i’ve been replacing my “i’m sorry”s with “thank you”s, like instead of “sorry i’m late” i’ll say “thanks for waiting for me”, or instead of “sorry for being such a mess” i’ll say “thank you for loving me and caring about me unconditionally” and it’s not only shifted the way i think and feel about myself but also improved my relationships with others who now get to receive my gratitude instead of my negativity
from Emery Allen’s new book Soft Human
“There are always flowers for those who want to see them”
I don’t know how to love in moderation
no matter what happens, no matter how distant things get between us, you will always have a home inside my heart. i can never hate you. whether we talk everyday or never talk again, i will infinitely love you beyond reason.
