It hurts when you finally realize just how much you want something, only to have it pulled away from you the second you know that it's what you want.

How could I have been so stupid? How did I let myself fall so hard, even when I knew there was no way it could ever be? And now here I sit, sobbing my eyes out with a broken heart.

Never again. I will never, ever allow myself to be vulnerable like this again. It hurts too much, and it's just not worth it.

I need some time to regroup, and then I think maybe I'll be ok. At least now I know where I stand.

Never, ever, ever going to fall in love again. It's just not worth the pain and tears that you wind up with in the end.
