""And this is all still so new to me,
Our eyes have lost their color.
And now I'm trying, I'm trying to keep my balance."

-Chiodos "Smitten for the Mitten"


Blink back those tears, darling

before anyone notices that

behind your perfect mask of

nonchalance

is a vulnerable heart

that's pumping for him.

You can try to hide it all you want

but, dear, you're not fooling anyone.

They know.

They all know that you're

-b-r-e-a-k-i-n-g-

no matter how many times you say

"it doesn't fucking matter"

(because it does matter

it does, it does, it does.)

x

That once comfortingly familiar smell

of cigars and sweet cologne

is now nauseating.

That once heartwarming half smile

now causes nothing but heartache.

That laugh that you cherished

is now haunting your every dream.

But still

s t i l l

you long oh, so deeply for all of those things

even though they're hurting you

so damn badly

because, somehow, some way

the pain feels worth it.

As long as you can win

him in the end.

x

It's so much easier to

just be his

friend

but it's not like you really had a

choice

in the matter.

It's not like you

chose

to fall for him

(&fall you did.)

Now you're

to deal with the side effects

&there's no medicine to make

a heartache

hurt less.

It's a well known fact, sweetie, that

love

equals

pain.

But everyone also says that

pain is only temporary

&love lasts (something like) forever.

x

Stop pouting that bottom lip

wipe away those silently shed tears

&smilesmilesmile

because it will all pay off

it will all be worth it

his arms will be your home.

Sooner or later.
