You just can’t change other people.

You just can’t.
I just wanted everything to be alright.
Sometimes I dared to hope for good.

I just wanted to be happy.
I wanted him to be happy.
A lie.
I wanted him to change and be happy.

Broken promises.
Broken things.
Broken people.
And I grew so tired.
And finally, so numb.


I have to admit that I still grow a little sad when I think about that look in his eyes. The way he used to smile, like nothing had ever been wrong.

Those were the times I thought I could make a difference.

But I couldn’t.

And it is this truth that inspires my heart to break and quietly deaden at the same time.
