Broken Flowers

I feel too much, I love too much, and
I always give people the best of me,
even when I know they don’t deserve it at all.

I Love You More
I know you’re broken
and I don’t say this just to say it,
but I know you’ve been through hell and back
and it has changed you.
You’re not the same person I once knew
and it’s not that I want to fix you
or save you
or anything that has to do with that.
It’s more like
I will accept you
and take your flaws
for more than what they are.
If you’re a hurricane
then I’ll be the sea
that gives you the strength
to go on.

Sadness
And it is sad how people come and go.
It is almost too beautiful to bear,
the way people gently come into our lives
to leave just as softly.
But that’s life, right?
We make memories with other people
to remember them once they’re gone.
We exchange experiences and expect to learn
something valuable in between.
The same way we have to learn to let go
and the same way we have to learn
how to embrace change as it comes.
And that’s what makes this life beautiful,
for it is the coming and the going that makes us
who we are.

Take the time to love yourself.
Your body isn’t broken.
Your body is marvelous
and you are more than what they expect you to be.
You are everything they could never understand:
love and light mixed together
and all things that blow with the wind.

But the secret is to keep building.
No one is going to pay attention at first,
but if you keep going,
eventually someone will notice

It hurts because you feel too much,
because you care too much,
and because you feel connected
no matter how far you go.

It’s okay to feel alone,
lost, and empty.

Sometimes people are only interested
in things you are too afraid to say.

One day,
you will realize how there are some people
who are not meant to be yours.
One day,
you will have to move on,
and sometimes the most important thing to do
is to let go.

If I told you
I did not miss you
then I am a liar.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
But you have become
another stranger,
someone I used to know.
Another sunset
with no other place
to go.
