it's crazy how people come crashing into your life. and they change everything. and they change you. and then just like that. it's all gone. they are gone. and you're left to sift through the pieces of yourself that remained intact and forced to put yourself back together again.

i'm tired of being in pieces.

i'm tired of only temporarily feeling whole.

i'm tired of having my band-aid heart breaking into little fragments.

i try to be careful. i try to guard my heart. 

but i want so badly to love someone. 

and be loved back. 

it's that second part i can't seem to get right. 

be.

loved.

back.

time and time again.

i can't get it right.
