What hurts the most after a break up is the respect that you don’t get anymore.

You were once my passionate lover. Complimented me, told me I was beautiful. 

Today, you asked me for sex. Told me I was sexy. 

How sad is it? 

How sad has our love become? 

How sad have you become? 

What happened to you? 

Where is the man I loved? 

Who are you? 

And this is why you should fall in love all over again.

Because he is not the person you fell for in the beginning.

Because he will not pick up your calls no matter how many times you call him.

Because he does not care even if you convince yourself that he does.

Because he does not think about you once though he crosses your mind a thousand times.

Because the love that was once there is not here now.

Because he just sees through you while you’re standing right in front of him.

Because he does not reply to your texts, the ones filled with questions, with emotions, with rawness, with anger, with love, with doubts.

Because he does not react when you pour your heart out to him.

Because he tells your friends a different story.

Because he is different.

Because you do not know who this person is anymore.

Because you deserve better.

Because there is someone out there looking for you.

Because you deserve respect.

Because you need to love yourself.

Because you need to love again.

Everyone has been through heartbreak. You are not alone in this journey and you will get there one day. Till then, cry your heart out, go on random trips, bash him/her up (just kidding), laugh out loud, do whatever you wanted to, go wherever you wanted to, live life your way and love will come knocking on your door one day. And when you open it, I promise you will love all over once again. This time without the pain, without the doubts, without the fights. With a lover, a friend, you will love all over again like you’ve never fell in love before.

You don’t let go of a person at once, you let pieces of them go away from you everyday.

I let you go when I stopped wondering where you were,

I let you go when I forgot about you for a second,

I let you go when I stopped thinking what you were doing at this same exact moment as me,

I let you go when you weren’t the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning,

I let you go when I stopped listening to songs of our memory, but searched for tunes to make new one without you,

I let you go when I started imagining my future and you weren’t in it,

I let you go when I din’t talk to my friends about you that day,

I let you go when I stopped calling you at 9 pm every night,

I let you go when I stopped looking at my phone every minute to see if you had called,

I let you go when night creeps in and you weren’t my final thoughts,

I let you go when I stopped crying for you yesterday,

And I let you go as I sleep peacefully today.
