For The Guy Who Comes After Her Heartbreak

If when you look at her, you don’t see the fire in her soul and the flames that dance in her eyes as she laughs… please do not stay. Don’t lead her on for even a second. She has done her best to get where she is now, so please do not do anything to jeopardize her healing heart. She may smile and laugh and seem like she is the strongest woman you know, but she is still very fragile regardless whether you can or can’t see the bruises she still bears underneath.

Loving her will be challenging at times, but I promise it will be the most amazing and rewarding thing you’ll come to know, aside from the love that she has to offer you. You’ll have to be patient as she learns to trust again. She’s going to apologize a lot for things she didn’t do. She’s going to think you’re mad for no reason. She’s going to carry around the doubt and fear that you are ready to walk out at any given moment because this is all she’s ever known. She may not call or text like she wants to because she feels like she’s bothering you, but she is waiting to see if she means enough to you for you to send her something, letting her know you’re thinking of her like she’s thinking of you.She will get a sinking feeling in her stomach when your phone goes off around her at night or if you don’t answer it when it does, even if she doesn’t say a word about it. She’ll think the worst when you don’t answer her calls or texts right away. When you’re not around, she’ll start playing out scenarios in her head of what you’re doing and why she isn’t good enough. When she kisses you before you leave like it’s the last time she will ever see you, please know that she does this because she knows it could be. She may have this look in her eyes when you tell her goodbye like she doesn’t want to say it and it’s because she is wondering if it’s for good this time. She will always love you like there is no tomorrow because if there is anything she has learned, it’s how much time is really borrowed.
