she said to me "no one has ever taught me how to love.

she went on to say "i don't think my mom was capable of love, i'm sure if you love someone you don't hurt them".


i could relate but i didn't say anything after that. how could i tell her she wasn't the only one. that her story wasn't special.

i had to let her believe that there was still hope. that we weren't all messed up inside.

she told me not to fall in love with her because she was incapable of loving me back. i was relieved. two peas in a pod.
