Forget about love. About finding it. Forget about your heart that breaks like porcelain. No, something more difficult to sweep up off the floor. Your heart like glass. Forget about it. You will go on anyway, no matter how many shards are left scattered across the years.

Forget about the people you broke too. The ones you couldn’t get out from under your skin. Forget about things that remind you that love is the color of bleeding. Forget about what you used to heal the wounds. Forget about love.

Forget about being alone when you are alone and just be alone. Just be. Just enjoy the beautiful things and forget about needing to share them. You don’t need to share them. The beauty will be there all the same.

Forget about everyone holding hands and whispering. They may not be any happier than you even though they have something that you want. Forget what you want. You will get what you get anyway.

Forget about the time passing. What is coming to you is only coming closer. But forget about that for now. Forget about the future for the present. Just be where you are. Just be.

Be alone and allow yourself completeness. You always were until you thought about it too much. Try not to think about it. Forget about love. It will come when it comes and not a moment sooner just because you will it to.

Forget about always looking and just see. Just be. Alone and not breaking again under the weight of something you can’t feel.

Forget about love. Forget about the pain. Forget about the past. Just be. Just be!
