I met people like storms and people like hurricanes, men like tornadoes and women like warplanes but you were a summer breeze curling the surface of the sea and maybe that’s why I wasn’t prepared for the destruction you left in me.

sometimes a bitch jus want a love letter u know
Do all men tell the woman they love that they love her or some are too proud to say it?
I truly believe that there’s no pride in love. And I don’t mean having no self respect or confidence. I just mean that loving someone completely is the most selfless thing you can do and sometimes it’s terrifying to be that open but you do it for them and you do it for yourself.

“Here is something you know: I have always been a sure bet when you were looking for a night of pleasure; it is almost a given with little thought ever provided as to your current relationship status. Here is something you do not know: I have never once enjoyed that kind of intimacy; I allow it because being wanted in any capacity tricks my insecurities into believing, just for a moment, that you love me.”
