you get over them like this- at first, you can’t. his name is repeated over and over inside your little brain, singing a tune to you. until your heart gets bored of the tune that only ends up breaking you. one day at a time, you get over them when you stop searching for them in a crowd. you get over them when every love song on the radio is just another song. you get over them when every place you went is just a new place to make memories in. one day at a time. you get over them slowly, you get over them by focusing on your friendships, you get over them by focusing on your family. you get over them by loving yourself. you get over them by yourself, not latching onto a new one. you get over them when you realize your worth is not another person. you think you’re over them, until you catch sight of them in a crowded starbucks or sometime in your day, and you can’t explain why it hurt you, you thought you were over them. until, you see them and all the memories you had flushed your head and you remember how much you miss them. one day at a time. you get over them by doing everything else you love hoping that their name will disappear from the top of that list. you get over them when you realize they left you for a reason, and maybe that reason means they won’t come back. ever. you get over them when you realize you both were reading different books but thought your page was the same.

About the book

spoiler alert:these were not all the words i wish i said. in fact most of these words i wish i didn’t write. just to the small fact of, i wish i didn’t care… but sadly i do. but if i said the words i wish i did, then they wouldn’t be my little secret, they would be words on paper in a book. they would be words taken out of context, because the world loves to take things out of context. the words i wish i said are between me and my party of a brain. because if you knew the words, then you would have such an advantage over me, and my quiet showers where i ramble on to myself about my words wouldn’t be my secret anymore. you may be able to take most of me but you’ll never be able to take all of me.
