For those who ask me why I can't get over you I live everyday like I'm not gon' see tomorrow I still have gallons of memories that dissolve the sorrow See I'm not gonna pretend like she never existed in my life She made me fathom an illuminated future and I could boldly call her my wife But everything happens for a reason But every season, I question myself if she ever existed at all.. The other day we sat in my room and she told me she needs space I started clearing the room, I even accidentally removed my hope for tomorrow The thin line is that, I can't get over someone who has something that belongs to me That girl took sixty percent of my happiness I always loved space. Planets, stars, the knowledge that there’s so much unexplored. She was space. Her eyes were filled with stars, her back covered in constellations. This girl, Her hands could paint galaxies and her soul was a universe. All i ever wanted was to explore her universe and I swear to...

He’s not a bad guy . In fact, it was his endearing kindness that drew you to him in the first place. In the expansive sea of men who seem to have no desire to learn anything about you that doesn’t directly increase their likelihood of getting laid, he took a genuine interest in the things you care about. He asked you prying questions, gave you sultry sideways glances, and before you knew it, you were hooked. You found yourself contemplating the possibility that there is someone out there capable of understanding you completely. All the cheesiest love songs had at least a grain of truth to them, and you felt yourself falling… until he told you. And suddenly, the perfect image was shattered and it seemed unlikely that it would ever be repaired . He’s not a bad guy, but maybe he is . This is when he tells you he has a girlfriend. You start to look back on your interactions and realize that in all of this time when you felt like you were devel...

Let me just say it outright – the more a couple posts online about their relationship, the higher the chance that relationship will eventually fail. My theory is not going to be true in all cases. 7 billion people in the world and there is bound to be some head-over-heels lovers who enjoy detailing their adventures on social media. However on average, or at least with the friends I have on my Facebook, couples who have a tendency to spam us with their selfies, sweet dates, and declarations of passion are actually hinting at their insecurity over their relationship. No, this is not Donald Trump yelling, ”Social media is bad! The Chinese invented the internet to destroy America!” In fact, I am a selfie advocate. Your eyebrow game on- point? Immortalize it in a selfie. Your man treated you to a cozy dinner for two? Show your appreciation online! Got engaged? Share your happiness with a proposal video. But there comes a point where we gotta say stop....

Ever asked yourself why the sky is blue? I guess the problem is you.... You see; There are questions that may never be answered in life Like why can't gravity drop the jaw of the guy whom you've lettered poems for; The one who walks in the room and his footsteps sound like the song Adele is cooking in studio.. All you wish to hear is a simple yet important 'Hello' A single word that can make you chase pavements I..I've been seeing boys  go from taking strolls around campus To dropping jaws whenever this girl passes by, This girl, She has a smile that Naomi Campbell tried and ended up looking for a smile therapist I bet the ground dances to the harmonies from her footsteps She is just a girl who wants to make her parents proud A seed that yearns to burst so people can see that beauty is nothing without brains She hopes to change her world first before she does her neighbour's But she- She forgets one thing; Life is about priorities You can...
