friends to enemies to lovers is actually something that can be so intimate. i know you i know everything about you i have told you all my deepest secrets and you have told me yours and now i am trying to kill you literally or metaphorically because hate and love are separated by a very thin line and i don’t know which side i am on

you belong somewhere. one day, in some place (probably unknown to you now), you will feel at home. you will feel loved. you will feel like you belong, which is what you have been waiting for. it is coming please don’t worry about it too hard right now. when you are there you will know. i love you, you will feel at home soon.

I've been drowning for so long. Drowning in self-loathing, in self-hatred for myself. When I met you it was like a breath of fresh wind and when I kissed you it seemed like I could finally breathe again. You showed me how to live and not only survive. You showed me that even the devil deserves to be loved.

You saved me. I’ll never forget you.

If he chooses not to hold you, remind yourself you do not need his arms. Not when you have two of your own. Hold yourself, girl. Remind yourself that the love you have to give is more nurturing than he can ever give you, and you deserve that love, a far more wholesome love than his.
