#breakup

You think that you are an iconoclast, but you’re not. You just move, or replace what you cannot have. If you fail at something, you retreat into something else. Nothing changes you.... I left you because I knew I could never change you. You would stand in the room so still sometimes, as if the greatest betrayal of yourself would be to reveal one more inch of your character. ↗

It's difficult to wait for someone. It's difficult to forget someone. But the most difficult thing is to decide, whether to wait or to forget. ↗

Couples don't break up anymore. One person just acts like an asshole till the other person can't take it anymore. ↗

Those days are gone, and good fucking riddance to them; unhappiness really meant something back then. Now it's just a drag, like a cold or having no money. If you really wanted to mess me up, you should have got to me earlier. ↗
