Hearts and Thorns

A goodbye that never should’ve been a hello.

I'm not sure how it happened, but somewhere along the way to our forever, I lost track of right now. And I ask myself, all the time, if things would've been different had I just stopped and breathed with you.

Of all the truths I’ve ever been told, the loudest lie was yours.

In a world filled with mistakes just waiting to be made, I was thankful we’d already made all the wrong ones. Now, we could make all the right ones. Together.

You’re not only my future.” His forehead pressed into mine. “You’re one half of my soul. If you slip away, then a huge part of who I am goes with you.

I didn’t think it would be this hard. Trying to breathe without you.

The problem with slapping a Band-Aid over gaping wounds was that they’d eventually peel off, and the blood would flow freely. As fresh as the moment it’d happened.

I’m in love with you. I didn’t know what it was or if it would just go away. But it hasn’t. It’s only deepened, grown fucking roots in every part of me.
