Love

Goodbye

I saw you today. I can't even begin to explain the way that you made me feel , the way that I used to see every part of my future hidden behind those beautiful brown eyes. I watched as your braided hair fell beautifully around your shoulders , how the faint cuts on your wrists have started to heal and fade away and for some reason I couldn't help but want to burst into tears.

You are my person , you were my person but something has changed. Something about the way my heart stands still , beating steadily as I gaze at you makes me realize that I might just be over you. And maybe just maybe , your brown eyes is not what I want anymore. I have spent 3 years of my life chasing you , hoping that one day you'd see my heart on a silver platter and take what I had already given to you.

But you didn't , you didn't claim my heart and you didn't save me and the truth is that I cannot possibly hate you for it. Frustratingly enough I cannot hate you for all the tears I've cried , for all the night's I've spent awake wondering why I couldn't be enough for you , I couldn't possibly hate you for making me hate myself. And that is love , in the purist , most vulnerable form I have ever known. And it's really sad that i had to go through all of that , just to say goodbye at the end.
