"Modern Relationships"

That's just how it goes with us. Backtracking to go forward. It went from good morning love text messages to no communication. From I love you to I can't fucking stand you. You told me I was the epitome of perfection that our love could conquer all. If it were only rainbows and butterflies all the damn time. Let's be realistic we live in a world where we argue through text instead of speaking in person. From posting subliminal statuses on social media sites instead of stating how we truly feel. Well, no more will I conform to societies standards. I want to be happy with or without you. Because no man defines who I am. I do. I would rather walk alone with my shoulders held high instead with a man who mistreats me who would rather I walk behind then beside him.  Love is many things but not this.
