To love someone is as easy as to hurt someone. To be happy is as easy as to be sad. To feel pain is as easy as to feel joy. To smile is as simple as to frown. To laugh is as simply as to cry. But to repair a broken heart and to get it back the way it was before is not as simple and surely not as easy as to break one.

There are times in our lives where people try to save us from ourselves. Times, where people try to be there for us when we need them to, help us get back in track, pull us out of our own misery, yet all we do is toss them away. We don't appreciate them enough, don't cherish them enough. We don't tell them how much they mean to us, how much their support and presence mean to us, how much they impact our lives. We take them for granted and then they disappear, they go, they leave us. And suddenly, we don't know what to do anymore.

I was blinded by someone else's mistakes. I turned my back towards love because it broke me and destroyed me from the inside out. It turned me into a person I never thought I would turn into. A person I hated to be, despised to be, a person I felt disgusted by, felt ashamed by. I tried to avoid each mirror because the person staring back at me with those dark eyes and even darker thoughts wasn't who I was supposed to be or even who I wanted to be.

I turned my back towards love because all it caused was damage. It caused one heart to break after the other. It ruined lives, ruined dreams, ruined future plans. But wasn't love supposed to heal? Wasn't it supposed to cover ours scars with beautiful images? Make us feel wanted? Make us feel appreciated? Make us feel complete and as a whole? Make us feel... happy?

Why did I feel so lost then? Why did I feel so hurt and incomplete, damaged and wounded? Why did it put me through so much unendurable pain? Instead of being my salvation, it was my worst nightmare — a nightmare that kept haunting me.

Soon I learned that all people do was blame love for their mistakes. It was the easiest way to form an apology and the easiest way to clear our conscience from all those bad and negative thoughts. It's a lie. Love doesn't hurt us, people do — we ourselves do!

People have the power and the ability to hurt us. How? Because we give it to them. We give them the access to hurt us and they eventually do. They can lie straight to our face without any sort of mercy. They can stab a knife through our chest without us even noticing and keep twisting and turning to make it more painful. They can betray us, play us like puppets on a string, wrap us around their fingers, put us through hell and so much pain and sooner or later gain control of us. And once they've had enough, they throw us away and look out for new toys to play with.

People can be so cruel, but the worst part of this is that I myself did this to another innocent soul just because someone did it to me first. Sadly, I didn't realize all of this when I should have because I was way too focused on revenge.

She and I had a beautiful magic love — a sad beautiful tragic love affair. I ruined it. I ruined everything we had and everything we could have had. Someone like her was rare and I simply let her go. I never wanted this, never wanted to see her hurt. I lost the one real thing I've ever known and I couldn't breathe without her.

But I had to.

And now I don't know what to be without you around, Rose.
