And when I cry over him at night,
I'm not just mourning our downfall,
but also this image I had of myself,
being shattered.
I'm not this weak, impressionable girl,
who gets caught up in petty feelings.
I want to love fearlessly;
to lose fearlessly.
I want my heart to grow stronger,
not harder.
I want to be worth knowing,
to be worth fighting for.
and I want to be capable
of forgiving myself,
when I fall short.
