"Unrequited Love is worse than heartbreak because when you’re in love and break up you miss what you had but when you were never in love you miss what could have been.It sucks because when then talking to other people and you get mad you can’t tell people because it’s not your place to get mad because they’re not yours.They don’t care about who you’re hooking up with or who you’re talking to so why do you care about yours.They don’t care about your feelings so why are you driving yourself crazy about theirs.Unrequited love is staying up for hours thinking about how you may get them to notice you and maybe even feel something for you….But knowing that it will ever really happen."

"We weren’t really an ‘almost.’ We were there. We had it. You were my everything, and I was your whole world. We loved each other like nobody has ever loved anyone before, didn’t we? That’s what they all say.
I was the one who hurt you. I said you were suffocating me when you were only trying to keep me here with you. You were only trying to love me as hard as you could, because secretly you knew I was drifting away. You tried to save us at first, didn’t you?
I hurt you first, but losing you broke me. It was when you said you couldn’t love me anymore. It was then when i knew that I had single-handedly destroyed the best thing that ever happened to me. Loving you was it. It was all i needed, but I could never see it until you were gone. Losing you was the hardest. Losing you broke me into a million pieces that will never be put together in the same way.
It’s been months and I still think about you when other boys kiss me or touch me or smile at me. I’ll never have what we had with anyone else. I know that. I hope you have it with her now. I hope she realizes what she has before it’s too late. You can’t go around killing people the way you killed me. I hope she realizes how good you are. I hope you realize what I was, and what you lost.
We had it. We were right there."

"
They say that friendship and romance are variations of the same love. You showed me what that meant. It’s like you’re in a cycle of almost stranger, best friend, almost lover, always on repeat. I waited for you last time you were my almost lover, when you made yourself an almost stranger. You told me you were scared to commit so I gave you some space, hoping you’d realize commitment wasn’t something I’d asked for. But you waited months to come back and even longer to admit you still have feelings for me. Today I’m with someone else but the thing about almost is that there is no definitive start or end. I want to tell you my feelings haven’t left either but I can’t go back to you. You had your chance and now it’s time for someone new.
And yet, I’m stuck on our almost. I’m stuck on what if.
