They called it love


Why didn't you answer my phone call? I'm taking your phone away, it's because I love you.

What did your dad say about me?

What did your mom say about me?

Dont believe him.

She's lying to you.

Why won't you answer my texts? Your lying to me.

I'm depressed. You were the only thing that made me want to get out of bed.

Did you know he's suicidal because of you?

I'll never happy again, thanks to you.

Why did you block me? I just wanted to check your account.

Can't we be friends? 

Why are you shutting me out?

Why weren't you happy? We were perfect!

You're perfect!

If only you couldv'e changed for me.

I feel like I wasted the past five months on you.

Your friends won't tell me what you're telling them!

Why won't you talk to me?

I thought I loved you.

 

Love. It's letting someone go when they've moved on. It's accepting distance when they're hurting.

Love is healing yourself before you try to care about someone else. 

It's not playing favorites, getting jealous. It's letting each other have separate lives.

Love is not a manipulation game. It's not a game at all.

It is trust, it is honesty, it should feel safe.
