Breaking Tide.

It's cold again
How much does it need to be before you actually see me
Before you leave and say you couldn't feel,
How much will you take 
Just to make my heart ache!
You started it but sadly you couldn't finish it.

Telling me words I would want to hear 
And pretending like you would be there,
You lied!
And now you have this newfound freedom 
That I don't wish to deprive you of.

This is my message 
Goodbye and thank you.
You have shown me what it takes 
And now I know
I know what you were teaching me.

I should have prepared for this time,
Although I'll always be with you and you'll always be with me
We'll never indeed be what we wanted to be.
Thank you for the good days and the bad ones 
But now I must set you free,
Because if I keep you trapped like what you've done to me
You'll never be able to leave me.

You've shown me love and given me joy
All it takes to make me yours,
But I won't stop you from what it needs to be 
And for that, I hope you'll continue to leave me be.
You must let me go and I will too,
Just remember that once you were a part of me as I was a part of you.

What are the Possibilities of Love at First Sight?

-
This is where the lie that I was afraid of gradually worsens Supposing I'm just like the rest but concealed for the beauty of your eyes Maybe it's the way I talk or the way I act that creates the push-and-pull effect I'm not the person you know  I don't even know the one you know  That sometimes scares me because I don't know the image of the person you painted in your head  It could've been the side of me that rarely comes out that you fell in love with What are the possibilities of love at first sight? Maybe one in a million to you, but when you explore everything that's to come  You'll compare me with the rest of them  I'm just like any other and don't have much about me  I'm stuck with the person I used to be  In a place I don't wish to be The constant repetition of how much you love me Drives me to insanity, making me think that I have the capabilities What are the possibilities of love at first sight? These feelings that I have, sho...

I hate you.

You will never be able to understand me no matter how much you try just as I won't be able to understand you. I hate you for making me cave into my emotions, I hate you for making me so dependent on you, I hate you for always being in my head, I hate you for just seeing you and I hate you because I love you. I hate that you are always present in my life but you know how much I love it. I hate that I always rely on you to make me feel better and can't do it myself. I hate that you don't know when to come after me and the times I don't need you to, you do. I hate that once your name is mentioned I am instantly happy. I hate that you make me happy. I hate that you can make anyone like you because if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be in this mess. You make me feel all these emotions that you can't control and leave the rest to me because my emotions trigger yours. I hate that you always know how to get to me just as I know how to get to you but you know that we a...

5 years.

We ran away together thinking that we could have escaped reality but that's when it really hit us. Our immature thinking that only having each other and being able to hug the bad days away would have been okay but it left us loveless and full of hurt. We were young I admit and we had no idea what we were doing, even though we laid out a plan that we thought would make us the happiest human beings in the world, we still managed to fail, and that instead brought horror and fear to us. We now feared being with one another and one thing lead to the next after 3 years, you were gone. To make a life for yourself because you couldn't see one with me, you packed everything that we had made into a box and left, leaving with no remorse. I look back and wonder how it was so easy for you to leave. Now 5 years have passed and I managed to move on somehow, not from you of course but from the life that we lived. I saw you but you were stuck. In the same place that you left from. I must say I...
