Inspiration
I've actually had this idea for more than half a year. :faint: Seriously. I just love accomplishing these long-term ideas, you know?

It's about that feeling where you're not really sure about your feelings for someone. As to whether or not you love them. Or the uncertainty of their feelings towards you, because that's always on your mind. Love is one of those things where nothing is certain. :heart:
:shrug: I could go on about it, but I won't.


Technique
The most significant part of this picture for me is the fact that I actually created some of it. See, the picture wasn't this good to begin with. It wasn't framed right – my fingertips and elbow were cut off – and the edge of the couch was visible, so the carpet was really distracting.
:omfg: So I used clone stamp to create my missing body parts and make the carpet just be black. And that was a LOT of work. But I'm really happy with the end result; the people I've shown had no idea that it was edited.

One Last Time "I don't love her," I protest.
But I'm not even fooling myself.

[—rose,
I keep waiting to feel your thorns.]

"I love you," she whispers.
Lies taste so sweet on her lips.

Dear girl-who-caught-my-eye,
Sometimes I wonder if I kissed you, would you love me.
Would you tell me the truth?
From,

P.S. All I want is a girl who doesn't want me.

Dear boy,
Let's be straight, boy.
If we were in love, I would've noticed by now.
P.S. Happy birthday.

You know, you told me a year ago to give up.
What does that tell you?
P.S. I'm still young.

Pseudo-love -- [we are hiding from pain.]

        For the first time she notices his hands are covered in scars. He follows her gaze and his eyes grow worried.
        "What —" she starts to say, but her voice trails off.
        Eventually he answers her unspoken question. "When I was three my dad got smashed and gave me a knife to play with.
       My mom came home and found me covered in blood and crying."
        She's shocked. "Didn't it hurt?"
     
If This is What it Takes "I'm going to break your heart." she tells me.
"You already did." I laugh, "I'm not going to let you do it again."

But she smiles and slams her fist into my chest.

"I don't love you," she says softly.
"I don't love you either," I lie. I pretend it hurts, but really, I can't feel a thing.
Our eyes meet and I start to wonder what we're saying.

But she turns and walks away, leaving me with tingling lips and a bruised heart.

I'm so tired of being sad.

It's hard, watching his heart snap under that pressure. He's no twig, but he isn't strong enough to hold the whole world on his shoulders. He's got cracks, just like the rest of us. The
