Someone can only hurt you for so long before you begin to feel numb. Once you reach that point, there really is nothing left to do but to sit and wait for them to realize you’ve simply stopped caring.
I trusted you, but now your words mean nothing to me because your actions spoke the truth.
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”
- Bob Marley
I want you to show me that I’m special, that you couldn’t live without me the way you’ve learned to live without all of the girls who have come and gone before me. I want you to hold my hand and look into my eyes and reassure me that this time, things will be different. I want to believe you as I feel our fingers intertwine, making us whole. But as much as I want all of these things, I know you can never give them to me.
