All the while, I've been encouraging those around me to believe in love, trying to assure them that life will find them in the end, trying to convince them that one day, they'll find someone who will love them not for who they are, but for who they're not. Not for what they can do but for what they can't. Because from my narrow perspective of love, if you love someone for their weaknesses, it proves that you love them more. Which again, equates to a longer relationship. Then I realised that even though I can sound very convincing, I still don't believe in what I say. So why do I still carry on preaching in something I don't believe in? Because, who am I to rob anyone of this hope? The hope of loving and being loved? Sometimes, looking forward to that day when you'll be able to love someone and have them reciprocate is the only thing that keeps us going. Yes, love might be the only thing that propels us from today to tomorrow. So I tell you to believe in something I can't. How fake. Then again, I have my reasons. How can I believe in something as ethereal as love? Something that has failed me before? It sounds sappy and disgusting and all, but it is true. You ask me why I don't believe. This, is why. The broken promises and the lies. This is why.
Guilt? Two can play the same game.
But remember, I don't want you back. You're only the best I ever had.
