There are some people in our lives who enter like hurricanes, destroying everything in their path. Then, they make an exit once they have caused a mess. Their name becomes infamous 2 everyone who has been affected. They don’t care about what is left behind, only the fact they have successfully caused destruction.
And just when u begin to pick up the pieces with the loyal few who stay by ur side, the clouds come rolling in yet again. It’s like they know just when u are beginning to get things together & feel happy again.
There are some people who just think they have the right to come in & out of our lives as & when they please. There are some doors that take a long time to close & when that finally does occur, we should not, under any circumstances, open them again.
But we do — time & time again.
It’s the classic line we tell our friends as we are sipping coffee & our phone goes off. There is a rush of coldness that stings from ur head 2 ur toe upon seeing his or her name across the screen, despite the warm drink in front of u.
And before u even finish the sentence, u look at ur friend & say, “Guess who?” And ur friend knows. He or she tells u do not answer, but u just can’t resist.
There is something beautiful we can’t quite put our finger on when it comes to storms. Maybe it is the noise, or the darkness that captivates us. Maybe it is the risk; maybe we all like gambling & taking chances with people we know we shouldn’t.
There is something both cruel & kind about his or her lips on yours & it keeps u coming back for more. And even when u both say it’s over, u know it never is.
But why do we do this? If it were our friends, we would tell them they are making a mistake; they deserve better. They deserve someone who doesn’t lead them on & lead a life of blurry lines.
We like this idea that we can change people, & we know they aren’t always just bad. We get captivated by their good qualities, the late-night conversations & promises u hope they won’t break. We fall for the what-if scenario.
“Everyone wants 2 be the right person. Everyone wants 2 be the one who can change others.” But u can’t change people; u can only accept them for who they are. “You can’t love half of one person.”
(The most wonderful people are the ones who not only love u at your best, but also at your worst.)
These people aren’t the ones who leave when things get messy because they understand there is much good that may come with the little bit of bad. But when it comes to certain people, u can’t use their good aspects as an excuse 2 cover the bad.
You ask ur friends for advice, but the only reason u do that is because u know the answer. In time, u will realize how much time u've wasted, but that realization will come when u are ready to accept that.
We all like games, but as we grow up & lead adult lives, the games that captivated our young adult lives begin to grow old. We want something serious & clearly defined.
The blurry lines eventually will fade, & the game itself will eventually end. It’ll happen when u are in that relationship u deserve & never think twice about answering that text.
It will be in that moment they realize they don’t have anything left to destroy, and they will be forced to go somewhere else where no one has heard their names. But like every level-five hurricane, their names remain famous in the old town they left behind.
