Love doesn’t make everything better, not always.
Especially when it’s with someone who isn’t right for you,
At least not at the time.
It can consume you,
Making you feel like that person is necessary for every breath you take,
Like your heart would stop beating if you didn’t have them.
So when love doesn’t work out,
It really does seem like the end of the world.
Waking up in the morning feels impossible, '
The world unbearable because that person isn’t around anymore.
But life goes on, eventually.
As time goes by, it’ll get easier to get out of bed
Without feeling like you’re going to break into pieces.
Then maybe you’ll be able to go a whole day without thinking about them.
But no matter how long you can hold it together,
There are always moments.
Maybe you’re in the car,
And a song comes on that reminds you of them.
Or you’re in bed alone,
And you suddenly remember how it felt to have them lying beside you,
Holding each other as you fell asleep.
It’ll hurt,
And you’ll sit there and miss them.
The moment will pass and life will go on,
But it still happened,
And you’ll remember it.
Because when you love someone, truly love them,
It never goes away, not really.
You may not be together, or even be in each others’ lives anymore.
Hell, one or both of you could be perfectly happy with someone else.
But they will always hold a piece of your heart.
After all, you gave it to them for a reason, '
You can’t just take it back.
