I know how hard it is to care for someone and still know they’re not good for you.

You wear the rose-colored glasses as if you’re supposed to, and you let the rest be.

The sky becomes bluer and brighter.

You romanticize them and the moments you share with them.

This person becomes something of substance in your mind.

You believe in beautiful things because you believe this person is one of those things.

You get lost in it.

At first, you feel your world shrinking.

You convince yourself it was something you did or didnt do.

It was your fault they left in the first place.

And again, you get lost in that.

I know how hard it is to care for someone and still know theyre not good for you.

You wear the rose-colored glasses as if youre supposed to, and you let the rest be.

When youre young and in love or what you think is love all you see is good.

The fact of the matter is, not everyone you love will love you the same way.

And sometimes, the love you want isnt the love you deserve.

If youre one of the lucky ones who found love to be something wild, hold on to that.

If they leave you with the memories, keep them close, but bury them.

Use them as a reason to keep going.

Wait for the love you deserve.
