love back


I’m never gonna wait …

I’m never gonna wait that extra twenty minutes to text you back, and I’m never gonna play hard to get when I know your life has been hard enough already. When we all know everyone’s life has been hard enough already, it’s hard to watch the game we make of love, like everyone’s playing checkers with their scars, saying checkmate whenever they get out without a broken heart.

  1. I pulled out my journal the other day, and found this on a slip of paper: “Why is it we feel so much indignation when the people of the world don’t or can’t bother to look out for each other when it’s so fucking hard sometimes just to take care of those we love?”
