Wow, I am lost for words. This was beautiful.

Sayings I really liked!
"I want to believe those three little words but I cannot because I feel alone even when you are beside me."
♡
"In every room I look for you even though we may be on opposite universes."
♡
"The audacity people have to tell you they love you while knowing it is only their brain speaking and not their heart."
♡
"So you left me in the darkness to wilt and you ask where I went."
♡
"How do you go from talking to me every day to pretending I was never there. I had not prepared to be invisible. "
♡
"You open the door for me only when they are watching to tell them that you put me first."
♡
"I told you that you were my sunlight and ever since I've been walking in darkness. You must have wanted someone else to shine for."
♡
"No matter where my feet go my heart will always stay with you. Oh the love I would give you if you would let me."
♡
"There were no sadder eyes than the ones of the girl who let a boy convince her that she was not beautiful."
♡
"He leaves bruises on your skin and you still believe that he loves you."
♡
"When you said goodbye my heart left with you and it is so hard to live with only a brain."

It has some good thoughts, but most of the time, it felt like and artsy, overdramatic teenager's diary.

Not my favorite but definitely not bad. It kinda reminded me of Rupi Kaur esque poems. Some of the poems I did really enjoy tho

The “a time to wither” section wasn’t my favorite, but I found lots of ones I enjoyed in the “a time to grow” and “a time to blossom” sections.
One of my favorites:
“We are afraid
to wander
outside of
our comfort zones
but if
we do not
Open our shells
how are we
supposed to
find the pearls”

love the using of flowers as metaphors. but apart from that, pretty basic, i feel like I’ve already read this.
