Don’t Leave Her If You Can’t Let Her Go

Don’t think of telling her goodbye if you don’t really mean it. Don’t break her heart only to blow up her phone when you’re lonely late at night. Don’t tell her you’re moving on if you take one step forward and two steps back to her every time. Don’t leave her if you can’t let her go.

Once you break her heart she’s vulnerable, she’s hurting and she’s trying to move on with her life, like you’ve done with yours. She might text you, she might call you, but it’s because she doesn’t know how to live without you after all this time.

You cut her and you cut her deep, deep enough where she will have a permanent scar.

She’s doing her best, but her best will take time.

Don’t tell her you miss her if you have no intentions of trying to work things out with her. Don’t call her when you need someone to talk to. Don’t show up at her house when you’re hurting. Don’t send her pictures of things that remind you of her. Don’t reach out when you’re feeling lonely.

You don’t get to do that to her. You don’t get to come into her life again when she’s trying to heal and reopen the wounds, the wounds that you left her with. You don’t get to say the things you used to because you lost that privilege…
