you deserved a rose garden, with all the thorns picked off. you deserved a spring cascading out from the mountains, nourishing and replenishing you. you deserved waves washing over your feet, and the salty smell of an ocean breeze. you deserved a banquet with everyone who ever loved you, and god there were so many. you deserved sweet touches, knowing nothing more was expected, knowing you were more than enough. you deserved a reprieve, the hyenas taking an afternoon nap, and you flourishing in their absence. you deserved every gentle word, every reassurance that you were here and safe and no longer to be harmed. you deserved to never have been harmed. you deserved to know a life outside of constant pain and suffering, and you deserved that kind of a life with him.

“The reason we hold onto someone for as long as we can, even when they’re not in our lives, is because they are a part of who we are. If we let them go, that part of us dies. And isn’t that what life is all about? Trying to survive at all costs? Even if it breaks our heart over and over again?”
