Roses And Thorns

80

-Romantic comedies.

The most infuriating part is my lack of power over what happened.

I can't change any of it. I can't make you want me or respect me, and you can't be changed.

It's disappointing, really—that in romantic comedies, the only people who come back together after fights and heartbreak are the actors.

No matter what happens, they get the happy ending their hearts want.

I guess I have to forget every part of you, every fiber, every pulse of your damaged heart, to finally get over you.

You're not my happy ending; you never were.

No matter how many excuses I make for you, the fact that you hurt me repeatedly and slammed the door shut, leaving me behind, won't erase the pain I felt for a year, and it won't bring you back.

You made your choice, for whatever reason you thought was best, and left me aching for you to care.

I waited for you for so long, but I deserved a real man—someone who would fight for me, who would fight to stay.

Maybe my story won't play out like a movie, but I've found myself in taking care of me.

I've never felt more complete than I do now, without you.
