I do not like this phase of a heart break.
When you purposely avoid love songs,
Or sometimes you play them just to make yourself feel like your hearts still pounding.
When the person you loved and hid from every waking soul is brought into a conversation.
Or when he isn't.
When you see other lovers who have made it years without the cruel hand of fate ripping their love from them.
Or when you see they haven't.
When you notice him writing you smaller, casual messages when they use to be breathtaking and beautiful.
Or when he doesn't write at all.
When I ask you if I am pushing you away and you say no.
"Alright, happy birthday! Text me later tonight?"
"Will do"
When every hidden goodbye ends with those two words. And my broken, belittled heart.
(i. r.)
Please don't do this.
I. Can't. Lose. You.
