If I can't love you, here's what I'll do instead.

If I can't have your heart, I will leave it better than I found it. If I can't call you mine, I will prepare you for her. Somewhere out there, is a heart that was made just for me. And right now he might be in the arms of someone else. Each night I pray that whoever she is, she is treating you gently. I pray that she is teaching you how to trust, be vulnerable, be selfless, be kind. So out of love for you, and love for the "her" that is shaping you for me, I will treat each "him" that isn't you, accordingly. I will be someone trustworthy, vulnerable, selfless, and kind, so that whichever girl you were made for doesn't have to hate the girl that hurt you. If I can't give you love, I will at least give you faith that when you are ready, somebody will.

Love, 

Salty Rachel
