You deserve to be taken care of.

To let someone into your heart.

Because you know that they will keep it safe.

You deserve to be wanted.

And to be chased.

Ive spent a lot of my years, especially in college, chasing people.

Chasing girls that I wanted to be friends with.

Chasing boys I wanted to be with.

Chasing love when it was never going to happen.

All I did was run and stumble until I fell.

All I did was end up hurting myself more.

All I did was scream their names only to be met in silence.

Why did I do that to myself?

Why did I continue to love people who didnt love me back?

I guess every heartbreak and mistake ends in a lesson, right?

And I think through that time in my life, I learned that they never did deserve that chase.

Because as I chased them, they ran.

As I wanted them, they ignored me.

And as I loved them, they acted like I never existed.

I wasted so many years.

You shouldnt have to chase someone for them to notice you.

You shouldnt ever have to beg them to love you.

You shouldnt have to beg them to stay.

They should just want to.

they should just want to love you, with their full heart.

Dont ever chase someone who does not want to be found.

It will only end in pain.

Of your own heart.

But do you know what you really deserve?

You deserve to be wanted.

To be looked at adoringly.

You deserve to be cherished.

You deserve to be chased by someone who is willing to give you their heart.

And you deserve to be chased, by someone who you dont have to chase.

You deserve to be chased.

And not in the way I used to do.

I mean you should probably be pursued.

You deserve someone to see all of you, and still think you are the goddamn sun.

You deserve to be taken care of.

To let someone into your heart.

Because you know that they will keep it safe.

And they arent going to hurt you.

You deserve to be loved in a way that you never thought was possible.

You deserve to know that you are worth it.

That you are worth love and you are worth someone loving you back.

You have to realize that you are not replaceable.

that you are the only you in the world.

And for someone else, you will be their magic and their world.

So let them into your life.

Youre allowed to fall.

Youre allowed to give them your all now.

Because this time, you wont have to run.

This time, you will learn how to be loved back.

This time, everything will be different.

This time you wont be so scared to fall.

Because youll have someone waiting and willing to catch you.
