hemlines & heartstrings

If someone truly cares about you
and wants to be part of your world
and wants you to be part of theirs
they will make time for you. Period.

Even if at times in less quantity
it should always be time with quality.
They should extract the nectar
of every sweet moment
and conversation
and chance to hold your hand
that they possibly can.

Actions always talk louder than words do.
All of the spoken “I still care about you’s”
in the world don’t make up for the silent
“I don’t have time for you” messages
that their actions speak.

Give a little time to wait it out
see if they prove themselves and fight for your heart
and then make your decision.

Only make time for those willing to make time for you.
If they don’t, release them tenderly
and continue on your journey.
You are worth the time.
You are worth being someone’s priority.

Others will come along that will have the capacity
to not just tolerate you, but to make you bloom.
They will prioritize you and no excuse will hold them
back from carving their initials on the tree of your life
and leaving the fingerprints of their presence on your soul.
