i don’t know how to say that i’m happy for you with a smile on my face. how do you look someone in the eye that you thought you were going to marry and tell them that you’re happy they found someone else. i do so and i can feel my heart contracting inside my chest. i am happy for you, i truly am. i’m happy youre happy, i just will always wish it was with me.

when am i going to learn that just because i’ll always choose you doesn’t mean you’ll ever choose me// 4am

[4am-reflections]

i look at you and see wedding bells and children’s names. i’m so fucking sorry i see a future in you and you can’t even see tomorrow in me.
