Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.

I’ve put this off for so long, but I have to do this. I’ve never felt so connected to a person before. The second we met something clicked, it was like we had known each other for our entire lives. Everyone saw it, we were perfect. We were each other’s other half. I was so damn happy, you made me feel so comfortable and important. Asking me for permission and taking care of me. Things I’d never felt before. I loved everything about you. From your art to your love for cats. I wanted to be your best friend, to get to know every little thing there was to know. If only I could show you how pure my intentions were. When you left it came out of no where. One second we are completely happy and the next you were gone. It tore my heart out. I just want my friend back, you don’t even know I exist now and I can’t tell you how much that hurts. Even though it was short lived it was more than I could have ever anticipated. Thank you for giving me forever even if it was only for a little while.

Maybe if I yell I miss you loud enough you’ll hear it from wherever you are, whether it’s from the crowded hallway where we used to eat lunch everyday or the confides of your bedroom walls and you’ll stop whatever you’re doing and suddenly it’ll get too hard to breathe because the spot where I used to sit now seems too empty and your hands have nothing to hold or suddenly the other side of your bed is too cold without me to keep it warm and the memories of us sleeping in each others arms will be too much for you to handle. Maybe if I yell come back loud enough you’ll hear it when you’re sitting in the car and your heart will hurt because now all you can see is me laughing and you’ll remember the day we fell in love and you’ll wish you hadn’t pushed me away, suddenly you’ll wish I was somehow here again. Maybe if I yell I still love you loud enough you’ll hear it and suddenly all you’ll want is to listen to our favourite song and dance around my kitchen singing at the top of our lungs, and your heart will break because you’ll remember how happy we were and you’ll come running back to a home that is no longer there.

“Here’s the thing,” she says, sitting on the edge of the pier with her toes in the water, holding the remnants of the bottle of vodka. “I’ve loved two boys in my life. One of them I loved as the person who understood me the most; my best friend, my confidante. The other I was in love with; the blond, crazily clever boy who made me believe I was beautiful. And both of them told me they loved me, and both of them left.” I sit in silence, looking at the stars and waiting for her to continue. “What I want to know is, why? Why do they do these things? At the end, my best friend told me I only cared about myself, and that he hated who I’d become. Did he ever stop to ask me if I was okay, how I was doing? Did he see the days without food, or the dark clouds I always felt? Maybe he didn’t care like I thought he did. Maybe he did only care about her.” She sips from the bottle. “At the end, the one I was in love with didn’t even say anything. He was the only one who ever made me feel like I was enough, like I could do the things I thought were impossible, even if it was only eating breakfast every day. We didn’t talk for months, and I was inconsolable. Now we’re friends again, but I can’t tell him I still love him. Why’d he tell me he loved me when all along he planned to leave?” Here she giggles, and looks up at me, and I see the tears sparkling in her eyes despite the laughter, and she asks her last question. “Why does no one ever stay?” And the awful thing is, I don’t have an answer.

For once, I had nothing left to say to him. I wasn’t going to make the same mistake of fighting someone and trying to convince them to stay when they wanted to leave. I was tired, and I was sick of playing the same games every day. I didn’t give him an apology or a goodbye, it was just over. In a matter of seconds, it was as if we’d never known each other at all. Perhaps it would be better this way.

Pain is an essential part of the grooming process, and that is not accidental. Plucking the eyebrows, shaving under the arms, wearing a girdle, learning to walk in high-heeled shoes, having one’s nose fixed, straightening or curling one’s hair —these things hurt. The pain, of course, teaches an important lesson: no price is too great, no process too repulsive, no operation too painful for the woman who would be beautiful. The tolerance of pain and the romanticization of that tolerance begins here, in preadolescence, in socialization, and serves to prepare women for lives of childbearing, self-abnegation, and husband-pleasing. The adolescent experience of the “pain of being a woman” casts the feminine psyche into a masochistic mold and forces the adolescent to conform to a self-image which bases itself on mutilation of the body, pain happily suffered, and restricted physical mobility. It creates the masochistic personalities generally found in adult women: subservient, materialistic (since all value is placed on the body and its ornamentation), intellectually restricted, creatively impoverished. It forces women to be a sex of lesser accomplishment, weaker, as underdeveloped as any backward nation. Indeed, the effects of that prescribed relationship between women and their bodies are so extreme, so deep, so extensive, that scarcely any area of human possibility is left untouched by it.

Don’t say it was a good thing Don’t say it was the right thing to do Don’t say it was the best thing for the both of us When I’m the one playing the fool You’ve been lightin’ up my phone Worried that I’ll be alone tonight Wanna make sure that I’m fine But, baby, you’re not on my mind, no more I know it was the best thing for the both of us Cause you’re the one who looks like a fool What do you want from me when I just wanna restart You keep coming back for me when you’re the one who tore us apart The truth is I’m better on my own And I don’t wanna live in the past So let me restart

And I used to think stars were alive and shining in the Pacific Ocean of his eyes, but they were only the remains of long-dead stars, their very last scintillation twinkling above a grey sea. And I used to think his smile was heavenly, but it was nothing more that a deceiving Garden of Eden being ruined by the Serpent and its poisoned fruit of temptation. And his lovely mouth is full of lovely words, but everything inside is cold, empty, he’s reckless and sly, careless and vain. He has no heart, and at this point, I wonder where the beating I heard when I lay on his chest came from.

She said he aged like wine and she couldn’t be there until he tasted right. She said he felt like torn rose petals and she couldn’t hold on anymore. She said she saw his green leaves return, but it didn’t grow back for her. He said he loved her, but baby, love can’t change her mind.

So he said goodbye. (via poetryleftbyher)

She has anger problems and a past 10 miles long and 30 books high. She doesn’t ever say what she wants, she says what she thinks you want to hear. She hates everyone, and sometimes she even hates herself. She’s stubborn and will not tolerate disrespect in any way. She likes long good morning texts but rarely sends them, so cherish the moments when she does. The best time to ask her deep questions is 2am. She doesn’t trust a lot of people so when she tells you something don’t tell a single soul, those words are for your ears only. If she tells you she loves you, say it back every time. It’s hard for her to let her walls down and show emotions so don’t ever take that for granted. Tell her what you’re thinking, even if it’s about rocks or birds, she’s the best listener around. Compliment her eyes every chance you get because I can promise you’ll never find a more stunning pair. She likes blue flowers and turtles so if you want her to crack a smile those are your best bets. Always support her dreams, she has big ones and she doesn’t need anyone’s help reaching them, but it’s her favorite compliment. If you need someone to baby you and coddle you through every step in life, she’s not the girl for you. She’s hard as a rock at times and soft as a pillow at others. She wants to travel so take her on as many adventures as you can, even if it’s just trying a new restaurant in the next town over. Send her pictures of the sky and the sun rising, she thinks those are beautiful. If you see something that makes you think of her, send it to her. You don’t have to keep your secrets from her because she’s trustworthy. If she texts you and tells you “come here”, then you go to her because those are the moments when she needs you most. But most of all, think twice before you break her heart because it’s happened before and she needs to know that not everyone is an asshole.

To the girl he chooses: Congrats.He loves you so much. Take care of him. Please. Kiss him when he’s mad. Hold him when he’s sad. Make him laugh when he’s stressed. Let him know he can trust you. Make sure he’s comfortable at all times. Tell him you love him every single day. Just so he will never forget. Appreciate small gestures. Like him singing to you. Kissing your nose and forehead. Holding your hand. Don’t break him. Don’t hurt him. Because he will love you so much. Fuck please just love him because you have everything I have ever wanted and you better not let that go dammit. Please, just please, treat him right. He’s my entire world.

Lets go back to the way things are. We can laugh until our faces hurt, stay up all night talking, send each other hearts, and kiss like it’s nobodies business. Don’t tell me you don’t miss that, because I sure as hell do.
