Love (n): a profoundly tender,
Love (n): a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
1. You made me realize that love is more than fairy tale bullshit. Sometimes a princess isn’t waiting for a prince. You never felt the same.
2. You kissed me just after midnight on an empty bridge and I swore that a kaleidoscope of butterflies erupted in my chest. I let you touch me for the first time. Two days later you were gone, I never understood what kept you going back to her.
3. You reeled me in with your colorful words and your unconventional smile and that god damned voice. I don’t know what led me to believe you were a good idea. You spent months making me feel worthless for feeling. I spent months kicking myself and trying to fix you and cringing when your fingers met my skin. I still can’t visit your side of town.
4. Fuck you for taking advantage of me when I was vulnerable.
5. I still don’t know how I mustered up the courage to ask you to meet me. I was a sweaty mess running on an adrenaline high and your freckles were the cutest thing I've ever seen. I thank the universe for willing me to send that message every day.
