you should never love someone who can't love you. you'll end up with 11 empty beer bottles and smashed glass on the floor when you realize every single word you've ever said has meant nothing to them. when you realize everyone knows every single breath they've ever taken has meant the ******* world to you, you'll remember smashing the 12th beer bottle on the ground after you called them and left a voicemail; you begged for 5 good reasons why you're not enough. you'll be sitting on your bathroom floor ******* near killing yourself, when they call back and make you drop that glass shard faster than the bullet you imagined running through your temple left that barrel. you'll hear their voice and convince yourself that it sounds like a love song but we all know there's nothing but pity passing those lips. that's when they'll say those 4 words that you've been telling yourself since the day you realized you'd be as good as dead if you couldn't tell them you loved them. if you couldn't scream, or kiss, or trace 'I love you' into their skin there was no point in breathing. but they tell you "I can't love you" and you feel your bones break beneath you, you feel every single cell shiver and quiver within your flesh. like a fist smashing a cheek bone you're spun around and knocked down with no chance to retaliate. you'll hear their even breathing on the other end of the line while you're gasping for whatever air is left in the room. you should never love someone who can't love you.
