People often tell me that everything that's broken can be fixed. I don't believe them. I believe that some things are truly broken and cannot be fixed, they choose not to be fixed, because they don't want to forget the reasons why they were broken in the first place. They don't want to make the same mistakes twice, and I'm more than okay with that.

Because I'm not here to fix you. I'm not here to gather up your broken pieces and try to place them all back together. I'm here to be your friend, to be someone who loves you for all your flaws and broken parts. I'm here to help you realise that the world is a better place with you in it. My life is a better place with you in it.

There's honestly not that much happiness in the world, and most of our happiness is sadly temporary. I don't want you to have temporary happiness. I just want the world for you and I know I can't give you that. I know I can't give you happiness.

Do you remember all of our little chats, our funny conversations, our lame jokes, our deep and meaningful talks? Because I do. I remember every second and every moment, and somewhere along the lines, I fell in love.. with you.

I don't know why it happened. Perhaps it was your inner beauty that lights up your eyes and softens your stunning features. Or was it how when you smile, I can't help but to feel my face breaking into a grin, my shoulders being lifted. To be in your company is merely a blessing, it makes me feel like I'm someone. It makes me feel like I'm worthy.

But I know you've been hurt. I know that you hate feeling vulnerable, so you build these walls to protect yourself. I never wanted to knock them down, and I didn't have to, because you just let me in.

I know there have been people in the past who have betrayed you and broken your trust, they've tried to make you theirs. But I'm not here to own you. You are not an object, you are a person. You are your own person. No one has the right to decide for you, except from yourself.
