i don’t need to be loved by you.

i remember thinking that the only way to be loved was if i reinvented myself to be desirable. as it turns out, the person whose love i was seeking in the first place was myself, and the most desirable version of myself i could think of was a person who's happy, so i'm working on that instead.

& why can’t you just hold me?

do you ever get sad about happy things, even while they’re happy? even when you’re happy? because you *know* that things won’t feel this way forever?

and all at once,

you are the one i have been waiting for-

king of my heart. body and soul.

brown guilty eyes and little white lies.. i played dumb, but i always knew. that you talked to her, maybe did even worse - i kept quiet so i could keep you.

& ain’t it funny how you ran to her the second that we called it quits. ain’t it funny .. how you said you were friends, now it sure as hell don’t look like it.

you betrayed me - & i know that you’ll never feel sorry. guess you didn’t cheat, but you’re still a traitor.

now you bring her around just to shut me down, show her off like she’s a new trophy. i know if you were true, there’s no damn way that you could fall in love with somebody that quickly.

ain’t it funny- all the twisted games, all the questions you used to avoid. ain’t it funny. remember i brought her up & you told me i was paranoid.

run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams, across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.
