what i know

i don't know why bad things happen to good people,
i don't know why good people do bad things. 
i don't know why it hurts so much to love
or why people love to hurt.
i don't understand why i miss you so much even when you're standing right next to me, 
why i love your stupid jokes and stupid hair and stupid laugh. 
i don't know why we go running back to the people who hurt us
or why we can't stop loving those who don't love us back. 
i don't know why life is so unfair,
or when the pain will stop,
but i do know that we can't stop loving just because someone stops loving us.
so don't try to stop.
keep loving.

  1. I love that line about missing you even though you're standing right next to me...such a hollow feeling to feel alone when you're not. Loving someone who doesn't love you back, still signing up for the hurt you know is coming...it's hard, but you're right: keep doing it.
