stop
stop pretending and stop fantasizing
stop conforming to the standards of society
stop wishing for the ideal you
and find her
throw away those old pictures
and start over
donate those clothes that remind you of him
and start clean
change your sheets and re-arrange your room
and start from scratch
burn the letters and watch his name go up in flames

stop trying to be the right person for him
stop trying to be the right person for them
there is no definition for:
"the perfect girlfriend"
"the perfect daughter"
"the perfect woman"
what defines you
is not your heartbreak
not your scars
not your mistakes
what defines you is how you deal with it
don't let them break you down
then build you up
into the person they want you to be
just be you
