love like war

Have you ever fallen in love?

  Have you ever fallen in love with the idea of someone? Have you ever fallen in love with the idea of someone treating you with all the respect you deserve? Have you ever fallen in love with the butterflies you get when you picture yourself with him? I've fallen in love with a pretty picture of a perfectly put together boy who I can call mine. I've fallen in love with the happiness he brought me in the past. I thought I had fallen in love with him, but one day I opened my eyes to see him for who he really was. He was meant to be on his own. He was cracked. He was not perfect, and that's okay, but that is not who I fell in love with. I created the boy I wanted, and didn't really think about what I needed.
