““You wanna know the most annoying thing about it all?” She said. “It’s the fact I tried so hard to hate him. I went over what he did to me a thousand and one times. I swore to myself that I deserved better than a boy who one day decided he didn’t love me anymore. I told myself that someone like him didn’t deserve me at all. I fought it for so damn long, I tried so hard not to love him, but then he smiled, and I almost ripped my heart out of my chest and placed it in his hands every single time.””

““If you care about someone you work things out, you don’t just leave.” She said, He pulled at his sleeves, “but somethings aren’t meant to work out, no matter how badly we want them to.” “But I love you?” “Maybe that’s just part of loving people. You have to give things up, and sometimes, you have to give them up.””

Wel te ruste

Zo nu en dan als het dwaalt

Hangt in de lucht een moment

Hier was ooit maar zal nooit

Hetzelfde zijn als het was

Wanneer mijn hoofd het kussen

Van jou vergeet waarop je lag

Verdwijnt de herinnering naar

De achtergrond van de kamer

Leg het naast me neer

Wel te ruste

Today I am drowning... Thought you might propose, instead you left me.

[mies-schien]

Every. Single. Day. Over and over and over again.

[mies-schien]

Tonight my fragile heart won...

[mies-schien]

After weeks of nervous waiting and wishing and hoping all would be restored, this happened...

““Why did you guys break up?” She laughed, almost painfully. “One day he loved me and the next he didn’t. Strange isn’t it? How fast someone’s feelings can change and then there’s nothing you can do but accept it. You have to sit and accept the fact you’re completely in love with someone who doesn’t even give a shit whether you come or go and frankly they would rather it if you didn’t come at all. And that sucks.””

“Isn’t the whole point of love, sticking with someone even when times get tough? What’s the point of telling someone you love them if you’re going to leave them? What’s the fucking point of love if you’re just going to let it go?”

Picture me gone

Geen foto toont meer hetzelfde

als wat zijn kopie had gedaan.

Sinds jij je leugens verspreidde

is die wereld voor mij vergaan.

Die lachende blik, knuffel of kus;

Ze waren al geen waarheid meer.

Al was ik er niet van bewust

dat je toen al loog voor de zoveelste keer.

Voordoen of er niks mis was

bleek jou op het lijf geschreven.

Mij in die waan laten doorgaan

is de leugen die mij is bijgebleven.

Nu is het bed niet langer gevuld

met liegen, bedriegen en verzwijgen.

De tijd kruipt nu langzaam verder;

Het zal me leren of dit me eronder zal krijgen.

“Have you understood
 that we’re in this together,
that I won’t leave you?”
