I was at the beach earlier today.
During my time in the ocean, I noticed how all the waves were different.
(Obviously)
Each wave had a different effect on me.

Most hardly effected me.
Then there were the ones that would take me a few steps back.
One hit me rather hard, took some of my breath away.
Ah,
        but the ones I remember, those would lift you up if you jumped with them. So high they would take you...but you know what the thing about letting something lift you is?
       Most never stay with you. Most never continue holding you up.
  
   You fall.

The most comforting thing is this.
You get better at landing each time.
Maybe one day you won't have to fall.
One day you will stay up.

Have you ever seen "Love you"?
Have you ever seen it coming from the one you love?
Have you ever seen it directed to another?

Maybe you've seen it once...
Maybe you've seen it twice...
Maybe you saw it when he showed you the messages
Maybe you saw it when you shouldn't have

Did it hurt any less?
Maybe it did
Maybe it didn't

Did you have to fake a smile when he told you not to take them seriously?

I think back to my mother and father.
Truthfully, I do not know much about them.
I do not know much about their love story other than
it ended.
I do not know much other than
my mother still loves him.
If history repeats itself, will their tragic history bleed into my future?
My god, I hope it doesn't...

.
So,
You've said history repeats itself.
Doesn't that terrify you?
It terrifies me.

My mind & heart do not always agree,
But I can tell you for certain that they both wait patiently.
Patiently for thines love to begin just as mine has for thee...

Replace me but oh please do it soon.
Spare me the agony of waiting.
Replace me now.
Spare me.

— The End —
