Tumblr has cured my Facebook addiction

"

And when
someone tries to hold you
at night when you can’t seem
to stop yourself from shaking
because you’ve been crying again
i hope to god you let them

And when
you’re walking side by side
with the person who makes you smile
more than you had in the past month
and they reach over to grab your hand
i hope you don’t flinch and try to pull
away

And when
you’re laughing
head tilted back and lips apart
because they said something funny
i hope you don’t try to cover your
mouth

And when
you’re looking at them
and you feel safe
something you haven’t felt in awhile
i hope you don’t push away
because loving someone again
terrifies you and you’re afraid
but please,
if someone is looking at you
like you put the stars in their sky
stay
please stay

"I may think of you softly from time to time. But I’ll cut off my hand before I ever reach for you again."

"When people leave, their presence stays behind, in all the things they did. A sweet essence of their being, lingering in spaces that were once filled by them."

"You’re important to me. I think if there’s anything that will last forever, it’s that. Whether we separate, stay in touch or rarely speak again, you will always be that little someone I really do care for, that I would sacrifice everything for to protect and keep safe."

"They say you don’t get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don’t deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That’s why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment."
