to the coward

you weren't looking for somebody, they just kind of appeared in your life. they made you smile and laugh, and for a split second you were genuinely happy. as time progressed and you got to know each other, one thing seemed apparent. the person you liked was quick to have eyes for someone else. they'd take longer to respond to your texts, to not even responding, and slowly pull away. you panic thinking you are losing something good, so you grab on.

but don't. don't grab on. don't keep people in your life like that. ever.

they slowly pull away from you because they hope you won't notice, but they became a sliver of your happiness so obviously you'd notice. sure, you may have smiled a little more and your eyes had a certain glime to them, but that wasn't love.

you wonder what you did wrong and maybe blame yourself. You wonder what you did to not be good enough for them. was it your hair? your stomach wasn't toned enough? your butt was not big enough? stop this now.

the thing we need to understand about the human mind and emotions is sometimes feelings are inevitable. sometimes they just don't feel the same connection. you can't make someone love you.

the part that hurts the most is the distance, you can feel it. they pretend nothing is wrong and deny the fact they are pulling away. don't be fooled. that's what cowards do. they can't face the fact they hurt someone so they pretend nothing is wrong until they finally pull away for good.

like I said, feelings are inevitable. if someone leaves you, let them. don't waste away your life being upset because someone didn't care for you the way you cared for them. don't cry and blame yourself. and under no circumstance should you undervalue your self worth just because someone did not see it. you aren't in control of someone else's feelings. yes it hurts. but as time goes on, every morning you wake up and it gets a little easier. the thought of the person that broke you becomes a distant memory. remember, people become distant. and so will the hurt you feel.
