Four AM

When he breaks your heart, let yourself be sad.

Let the sadness consume your entire body until all that comes out of your mouth is broken sobs and quick breaths.

Sit in the dark and watch every sad movie you can think of, and when he hurts the girl, yell and scream at him as if the one you are really yelling at could hear you.

Call your best friend and get her to hold you. Let her be the one to put all your broken pieces together instead of some other guy that could easily tear them apart once again.

Then let yourself be happy.

Talk to new guys. They won’t smell like him or tell the same jokes but maybe you’ll be able to get past that or maybe it’s okay to just meet some new friends.

Dress up, wear your favorite clothes and your best smile, and feel good when you do it.

You are beautiful even if he couldn’t see it.

Take care of yourself, take lots of bubble baths, and listen to good music. Do little things that will make you smile.

Try to move on. You will meet someone one day who will make your heart skip a beat when they walk in. They aren’t going to have his eyes and they will love you better than he ever could.

You can finally move on.
