Like the beauty of the night sky, your love was just too big to stay

There once was a day
That you told me you loved me
You’re so full of shit

You and I were once
Two souls united as one
And now we are not

Relationships: My Honest Opinion.

There are certain things that will make you feel worthy: compliments, love, friendship, and time. People often claim to be “in love” far too early these days, in my opinion. Especially in terms of age. I’m not saying that teenage relationships don’t last; on the contrary, they frequently last longer than most people expect. And I’m not saying that you can’t meet someone when you’re sixteen and fall madly in love with them. In fact, I can think of a couple I know of whose relationship is stronger than most believe would have imagined. They show me that long distance relationships can work. Relationships can work. But a decision must be made by both parties who enter into the aforementioned relationship. Both people have to agree that the other person is worth it. In my opinion, that’s what it takes to make a relationship work in this day and age. You have to be willing to remember, even on the worst days, that you want this person. Remind yourself on a daily basis that you are so lucky to have them. Remember how much you wanted them, how you pined for them and hoped for a chance; but most importantly, remember why. You have to make a conscious effort to be in a relationship; give them your all. Don’t have someone on the side, don’t have someone you flirt with for fun, don’t give the person you’re in a relationship anything but all of you. That’s what they signed on for; not the scraps, not the leftovers, not the filth that comes crawling in after a night of drinking; they wanted all of you. If all of you is the aforementioned “filth”, I apologize; but give them nothing less than all of you. Too many people, in my opinion, rush into relationships, just to be in a relationship. They feel a desire to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
I, myself, and guilty of this. I wanted to be in a relationship; to have someone by my side at the end of the day, and to have someone who I could share every detail of my life with. But the problem was that it wasn’t the type of relationship I’ve described above.
Sometimes, people aren’t ready for everything. Sometimes, you don’t have enough of yourself to give in a relationship to make it work. I am guilty of both of these qualities. That’s why I’m still single: because I’m supposed to be. I refuse to give anything less than all of me to someone, that’s who I am. Even if I don’t receive all of you, I’ll give you everything.
And I realize now that the reason I am still completely single is because that’s how it should be. I don’t want a relationship that has me worrying about it when I fall asleep. I want the kind that makes me wish my dreams could be as good as I have it when I’m awake.
My advice to you, even if you’re not asking for it, is to wait until you’re ready to be in a relationship. Wait until you can handle giving everything. Wait until you have everything. Don’t give someone scraps. But be wary; don’t give everything if it isn’t time to. All that will leave you with is a shattered heart, a broken soul, a weak mind, and an incredibly long post on Tumblr about how relationships should be.

"Maybe you’re laying here because you don’t want to be standing somewhere else."

"I will die every day ‘til you’re mine again."

"I wanted to make your everything alright."

Interesting.

This isn’t working. You stopped noticing the little things. You’ve completely lost hope in the potentiality of our relationship. It feels like you’re okay if the extent of our relationship has been reached.
If that’s what it is, then I can deal with that. But I can’t hold on to the hope that anything is going to change. Instead, I’ll just come to terms with the fact that this is it.
This is what our relationship is going to be. I’m fine with that, if that’s what you want.
Just remember, in the future, if you wish things were different, you made us like this. You chose to have our relationship reach its maximum emotional capacity at this.
So here’s to our relationship. It will shift, it will change, but as far as I can tell, you’ve stopped it’s growth. And you wanted it that way.
I can handle that. At least I can now that I know that this is it.
I always told you, I can handle things better than anyone else. But, I’m gonna be honest with you. Just for a moment.
This is going to be really hard to handle. But I’ll still do it. Why, you ask?
You. I’m doing this for you.
Because this is what you want.
One last thing, though. I want you to know one thing.
I wish things were different.

Timing.

Love is about timing.
Timing is key, it’s absolutely crucial. Sometimes, you get the start wrong. You love someone, they love someone else. And then when they finally realize they love you, you’ve decided that they’ll never love you. So you’ve given up.
But, then you realize that it’s impossible not to love them. So, you’re in love with them again. Sadly, though, they’ve given up on you and they’re in love with someone else. So, you’re stuck without them once again.
Only then, something amazing happens. They realize they’re still in love with you, too. But there’s a problem. The person they used to love is still in love with them. So, they still love them.
And everything’s complicated, and it’s a gigantic mess. But then, sometimes, the most magical thing happens. You love them. Which was always true, so don’t go thinking that was the magical part. That would be about as magical as a light switch.
The real magic is this: they love you, too. And everything is perfect. The sky couldn’t be more blue, and the grass couldn’t be greener.
But, if the timing isn’t right, it doesn’t last.
And the cycle repeats.
But here’s the kicker. And it’s more like a kick in the pants than anything else.
Sometimes, the cycle repeats in your favor. Sometimes, there’s another time when you love them and they love you. Sometimes, you’re given another chance. A chance to get everything right. A chance to start fresh, start anew. A chance to hold on to them and never let them go.
Sometimes.
But, sometimes, you’re not the one given another chance. Sometimes, you don’t end up together. Sometimes, you and the love of your life are destined to just be friends. To complete each other, but never be allowed to. To support one another, but never be allowed to lean. To love your other half, but never be allowed to fall in love.
Sometimes.
Nothing is ever certain. Life and death are guaranteed. Love is almost impossible to avoid; required love is almost impossible to catch.
If you find it, hold on to it. Hold on to them: your other half, your true love, your best friend.
Because you have no idea what will happen if you let go of them.
Sometimes, people get multiple chances in the cycle. They can mess up, and fail. They can say things that they shouldn’t, do things that are inexcusable. But they’re given multiple shots, multiple chances to prove their love.
Sometimes.
But sometimes, you’re given one shot. One chance. One try.
And then when you let go, that’s it. That’s the end.
Don’t be afraid to tell someone you love them. Don’t be afraid to ask someone for another chance. Don’t be afraid to hold on too tightly.
Letting go is a dangerous business, because, well…
Love is about timing.
Timing is key, it’s absolutely crucial.
