I fell in love

then fell apart.

-

i knew that there would be risks. but i was willing to face them, together with you. it's wrong that we should only be half alive, half of ourselves. i loved you, so there i was. i've always been there. wasn't it about time somebody saved your life? too bad for me; i couldn't be the somebody.

... i could never regret loving you because even if you don't love me anymore, i know that you once did. and that is the most wonderful feeling, because i never thought that i deserved your love in the first place.

maybe our old wounds teach us something. they remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. they teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. that's what we like to think, but that's not the way it is, is it? some things, we just have to learn over and over and over again.
