the must be 50 ways to leave your lover.

i need to catch my heart up with my mind.
i've decided to let it all go.
all of it.
every grudge, every instance of remorse, all of my pain.
i want to smile again, and mean it this time.
i was thinking of lovers today.
i was thinking of every couple i've ever seen and how they all split, whether it be in this life or the next.
so screw them all.
i need to be happy with what i do, starting today.

i want you to be happy with me.
so stand up, look in the mirror and think of who you would be without your loved ones.
then go thank them all for their criticisms and misconstrued compliments.
love them for all that they do, and tell them.

tomorrow when you wake up, again, look in the mirror.
smile.
smile and be glad that you have the ability to see yourself, and the ability to hear the hustle and bustle of traffic outside of your window.
smile and be glad that your heart is still beating.

for the rest of the day, no matter what ensues, tell yourself it's for the better good of mankind.
i don't care if it is or not, tell yourself that because whatever it is that you do, whether you laugh at my advice or take it wisely i would be lost without you.
and i am not lying.
i do not lie in situations such as this and i am telling you that if you were to annihilate yourself tomorrow, the world would never cease their grieving.
every person you know would die inside and when they finally rebirth themselves, an essential piece of their soul will be missing.
and it will be because of you.

so tomorrow, when you wake up.
i want you to know that without you, yes the world would still turn, but mine would stop.
my world would screech to a hault.
because i love you.

even if i don't know who you are, i love you, because we're all the same here.
we're all too critical, or too cocky.
too helpless, or too strong for our own good.

we were all alone, but it needs to change.
you need to love.
you need to be loved.
so let go of your anger and give your best friend a hug.
read your favorite book.

smile.
