Cherry One

Have you ever been so in love? The kind of love that hurts to breath, like you're gasping for air that's not even there. The kind of love where you fall so hard, and you think there's no way you could possibly get back up?  Your so wrapped up in every beautiful word that comes so seemingly and effortlessly out of their mouth, that you forget to notice the world passing you by. You get to a point where it becomes all hurt and no butterflies. Your left with nothing but wondering how and where did such a beautiful love go so wrong. disbelief that someone you thought was so caring and would never hurt you could hurt you worse than anyone from your past. They knew what you had been through, they helped you cope and build you up just enough... but wait, you can't be stronger than them? They see the way you shine when you walk into a room. They see the beautiful strong-minded person you can be, and they don't want you to shine brighter than them. They can't let you be great; they can't let you, be.. you. And after years of smiling through the pain, wiping every tear on your own, they smile at you as if nothing had ever been wrong. Wanting to love you the way you deserved to be loved the entire time. They make you believe that they really want to love you, they just don't know how. Like a poorly wired circuit. And you think maybe this time, this time it could be different. This time they will cherish you and love you, or maybe it won't, maybe it never will. Maybe all you have is a dying hope of being a Cherry Girl. XOXO
