it is still beautiful
that i got to call so many hearts my home

where i love you for tonight
means i will be there tomorrow

don’t stay because you’re comfortable
this is not your home

sometimes the battles
that take the most strength
are the ones you choose
not to fight
~surrender

i think i have a tendency to prepare to lose things
before they are gone

is never selfish to take care of your heart. if you need to move, then move. if you need to stay, then stay. don’t let anyone else dictate where your peace lands

prove to me that love is a verb
let your actions speak for how you feel
and if they are not loud
let me leave

sometimes
caring
is
a
curse

loving you
felt like leaving a book out in the wind
the pages turned too fast for me to read
i didn’t get enough time
to adore you
to explore you
to trace your lines with my fingertips
and reread my favorite parts
to live the story i knew we were meant to be
before i knew it
the book was closed
the story was over
~unfinished

sometimes there is nothing poetic
about the way it hurts
sometimes it just hurts
that’s okay
