without me you got it all, so hold on.

Don't have unrealistic hopes.

If you pull at strings, hold onto words from sentences that could (could being the operative word) have meaning behind them, imagine up magical looks between people, assume a certain number of kisses at the end of a text actually makes a difference, then you've got unrealistic hope. The kind that you hold on to for dear life just because don't realise that not letting it go is just going to hurt more in the long run, rather than having a little bump along the way. It's very rare that people enjoy hurting your feelings no matter what the circumstances, so they will leave you with false shreds of hope in order to make situations less awkward. You have to work out who these people are, how these false promises come across and how to decipher who is just trying not to have to deal with the mess they're leaving behind by getting your hopes up for something that may never happen. Once you do this, you still don't want to believe it. So you play pretend. Don't, it's not fun and it's not clever. You will just hurt more.

If you ask me..

When you actually love someone, it isn't about gestures and gifts, grand displays of affection, cute good morning or goodnight texts, who gets the best valentines day present etc. It is my own personal opinion that when you actually love someone, they are the person who doesn't need to say anything when things are at absolute rock bottom, who doesn't necessarily need to have a way with words or some way to help counsel you through your issues, they just are there. They don't have to say anything special, they are just them, and knowing that and that alone somehow can half any problem you might have.

But that's just my opinion, and who am i to speculate?
