"Be you, because everyone else is already taken." This quote makes me realize that I'm good enough for anything or anyone. A lot of people talk about how we need to learn how to be ourselves, but this quote has a deeper meaning. At least to me, it means more than being comfortable with who you are.


Numb heart, numb mind.

She was perfect, in every way possible.

It was her.

It was always her,

She has everything I don't

 

Even though you always said the right things at the right time,

I still didn't know how to feel,

when you told me

the truth.

 

Part of me wants you back,

Part of me wants the life we had,

Part of me wants the happiness,

but every part of me knows

...no one can make me feel the way you did.

 

I feel like I betrayed her,

I feel like I stabbed her in the back,

I know she knows I still want him,

but she's my best friend,

and I can't do that to her.

not her, she means too much.

 

she's too special.

 

But I still fell and I fell hard...

for you.

Heatbreak sucks. I thought I had finally found something that would keep me up all night, smiling every second, and being happy for once. I was stupid to fall for him, because I knew from the beginning that he wasn't ove her...yet here I am numb over some boy that didn't want to stay...it's funny because now we're friends...and everyday there's always something new, he's always asking me why she won't respond to him, if she's okay, what she's doing, and at this point I feel like he's just rubbing it in even more.
