If I could go back in time and say anything to myself, I’ll say “Stop being someone who is not you.”

Because no matter how hard you try to be perfect for someone, you’ll end up sad and hurt because they’ll never be perfect for you.

You give them everything you can offer, and change anything in you that is wrong.

You can try to write him a poem or better yet sing him a song.

But honey you should realize that love is not a balanced scale, and the worst part would be in the end you might fail.

And hey I know you can say that all I am telling you words from a broken-hearted girl, but I tell you I am not broken hearted. Heard this song, “I’m not broken just bent and we can learn to love again.”?

I am just bent and when you are bent you still will do things over and over and over again. 

I broke my heart recently.  And I never knew why he left me.

All he said “I want out”. And the next thing I saw, he really was out. With someone new.

And my heart which was bent, fell to the floor and got a dent.

And my frown in my face, I forced to turn upside down thinking the past I could erase.

I’ll listen to many songs, ones that will tell me I’ll be more than okay after you.

I’ll work hard and play harder to spend my time not missing you.

I will read many books, stories that will help my mind forget about you.

I would watch every movies and episodes to distract my eyes from seeing you.

And someday you’ll just be another boy who made me cry.

You’ll just tip the unbalanced scale of love relationships that I have tried and will try.

You've reached the end of published parts.
