Note To Self:

Don't cry,
It won't do any good.
Stop thinking of him,
The pain will only get worse.
Try not to remember,
You'll only hurt more.
Don't think of the way your hand fit into his perfectly,
Don't remember the way his eyes twinkled when he was happy.
Forget how he would get angry at whoever made you cry,
Forget his awesome smile, his warm hugs.
Shy away from his name,
Push him into the depths of your mind.
Move on, stop wallowing in self-pity.
It's not like you were going to be together forever.
Even if you thought you would be
Just forget all the days you spent together,
The amazing dates you had not so long ago.
Face it; he's not coming back.
Stand up straight, and walk forward.
Be brave.

at first i didn't think that this would be what i would be reading...but its like ppl say "don't judge a book by its cover"...i love this piece, and for me, that's something i really have to work on...i'm currently still trying to get over a guy that i went out with over half a year ago...its tough, cuz i really love him...but i don't think of it as sad memories...instead i think of our times together as adventures and all of the fun things we did :D ...God Bless and keep writing...-Brittany-
