Failure*

You know what they say about red flags and people who wear rose tinted glasses.

how are these strangers being so nice to me?
they apologise when they realise they've been mean.
how odd it feels to be comforted
how my eyes sting when i'm being consoled.
my feelings were valid, my feelings were valid.
i can trust myself. it was a bad encounter.
i wasn't being too sensitive, it was a bad encounter.
God give me strength and more love, please.

I need someone to tell me 
if he's moving too fast. 
I just got out of fast moving 
relationship. 
I can't be caught up 
making the same 
mistakes. 

 

i'm one of those people that can't let
go.if i've had fun with you once, i will
text you on your birthday for at least
the next five years. if we were friends in
elementary school and haven't talked 
since, i guarantee i still know your
mom's name and your favorite food.my
crushes never go away, they just fade. i
still tell stories about great times with 
people i haven't seen in years. if you
turn down my offer to get drinks and
catch up ten times, i promise i will still
ask an 11th time. if we fight and you
block me, i will find a way to check in
on you anyway to make sure you're 
okay. so if i give up on you, just know
that you damn well deserved it.

You deserve a relationship with
someone who doesn't leave you 
guessing where you stand with
them.
