Theres nothing romantic about it.
Maybe even a hotel room.
They tell you they want your time together to be special.
Rafael Barros
Jealous of attention you receive from the opposite sex.
Jealous of any friendships you may have with the opposite sex.
You tell yourself its sweet to be loved so much.
Theres nothing ok about that.
They drink too much.
Or smoke too much.
And when that happens, they become mean.
And you tell yourself that they couldnt possibly mean it.
You accept the meanness.
Maybe theres a voice in your head that says you deserve it.
You do not ever deserve it.
Love is not meant for the shadows or for secrets it is built out of honesty and light.
Theres nothing sweet about that, or romantic about that, or lovely about that.
You deserve a love that is born out of kindness.
Do not mistake pain as a necessary component for love.
Stop romanticizing the relationships of yesterday.
Stop making the bits of your past into something that they were not.
Let them live in the past so that you might have a future that you love without question.
