Don't fall in love with a boy who loves himself more than a mother loves her newborn Don't fall in love with a boy who compares himself to Alexander the Great (even though they both won every battle they had ever fought in) Don't fall in love with a boy who would rather look in a mirror than stare into your eyes Don't fall in love with a boy who had enough confidence to make Kanye look humble Because he will never love you more (at all) Because he will never use his greatness to climb mountains for you rather conquer you instead Because your eyes only gave him a new source of reflection Because no matter how much confidence he had, he will never use it to build you up Broken girls cannot love secretly broken boys. Tattered converse cannot stand next to Italian leather. Despite being fostered by the same unknown force, insecurity and bravado cannot fall in love.

But I fell in love anyways...
