At a certain point, a heart with so many stress fractures can never be anything but broken.
-- Jodi Picoult

If only you knew.. how much i truly want to be with you

Pushing you away is easier than having to say goodbye for the very last time.

I love how we laugh at the same things
we both have dorky smiles and get caught staring at each other;
and then look away fast and pretend nothing happened.
like you haven't been on my mind all these weeks.

And it only hurts at night
as I lay there and think of
what we used to be

With every inch of her heart, she cares for you.
With every cell in her brain, she thinks of you.
With every smile on her face, she's reminded of you.
It's quite simple to see, she's in love with you.

And she'll get over you, just give her time.
She'll get over you because she has to.
Eventually she'll run out of tears.
She can't live like this.
She just can't

I hate how being "just friends" is good enough for you.
I hate how you joke around like we used to.
I hate how you can just go on like it doesn't hurt you when it's killing me

And as she eyes him as she walks down the hall, his
brown eyes glance her way. Coincidence? Probably,
except it happens every day.

There's a girl in my mirror crying tonight,
And there's nothing I can say to make her feel all right.
