The day love broke me, I learned. I learned that everything is temporary, though it may feel permanent. You can feel it so much that it starts running in your veins instead of blood. You can be made of that feeling but it still won't stay. It will be itself; temporary. You cannot make anything stay, let alone a feeling you grew certain of as the universe rubbed hints in your face about how the love you saw in someone's eyes belongs to you. But the truth is that we missed the truth. All you really own is yourself. Everything else is fleeting and superficial. You can only love yourself for you are the only you there is. You belong to no one. And no one belongs to you.
