The voice in my head tells me i'm enough, and i'm aware of that. It's just sometimes I could be a bother, I tend to overthink, over-love, over-ask, but as I was sitting in my room listening to my music. The voice asked me why, why what you may ask. The voice in my head asked me why I was thinking of him. I just couldn't help myself, I sat back and relaxed then that's when I realized. I was never asking for too much I was just asking the wrong person. I chose to see the good in him, I chose to ignore the red flags but they say love is blind. Is that what it was? Love? the voice in my head tells me no and I cant help but agree, how could I be in love with him?? impossible. I couldn't sleep that night, just up with no reason at all just up wondering why in the world I couldn't sleep and what this empty feeling inside of me? Actually I have a question, people say "follow your heart" but if your heart is broken into a million pieces, which piece do you follow? that's an amazing thing to think about but it bothers me that I can't find the answer. It was a battle between me and him, a battle between hurt and self love. I love myself I really do,  my heart tells me break down my walls and be with him but my mind tells me a different story. The story of heartbreak, the story from a broken hearted girl. The voice in my head tells me to stop trying, I say that I love him but I know that i'm lying. I'm in love with who I want him to be, and not who he is, to be honest I don't think I could love him with his flaws. Cause the picture of him i've imprinted in my head was flawless, and there I was, staring at a picture of him and looking in the mirror. Tear after tear, let him go the voice tells me bring him closer my heart whispers. I looked at the picture and back at the mirror where my now unhappy reflection stares right back at me. I burn this picture of him and erase my flawless image, I couldn't help but wonder if in time the memories would fade, how come memories stay and people don't? a question with a sad truth behind it. That I have yet to share, I look in the mirror and wipe my last tear, the voice in my head tells me that this is the last year. The last year where I stop my life because of him, the last year where I shed anything less than an happy tear because of him. This was MY year. I break that broken reflection then laugh at who I was and bow to whom i'll become, because finally.......She chose herself.
