Today I found out that human beings are not mirrors.

1. I saw you cracked and I said to myself “fix her”

2. I thought about 10 different ways to “fix” her.

3. Affection.

4. Love.

5. Lust.

6. Poetry.

7. Kisses.

8. Letters.

9. Hugs.

10. Fix her.
10. Fix her.
10. Fix her.

Slowly realizing that you couldn’t be fixed I stepped away from your shattered heart.

I saw your body bruised and thought to myself she’s been through hell, so why should I try to throw more gasoline on her melting corpse.

Maybe I have an attraction towards insanity.

After all aren’t we all?

All this time and I thought you needed me, when in fact it was I that needed you.

And I still do.

Now I know that we can’t fix each other, and in the process I learned how to love even the darkest pieces.

So when you ask me why I love you, know it’s because I’ve seen you at you’re best and your worst, and I choose both every ******* time.

I always will,
always.
