Being highly-sensitive is tough enough. So imagine how hard it can be to be in a relationship, too. There are times when you just want to cry out of frustration because you can't express yourself out of concern for your bae. There's always that thinking that you should always be mindful of what to tell them, because he might get it the wrong way. But don't worry, Candy Girls, we totally understand your struggle of being a highly-sensitive person in a relationship.

 5  We notice and remember the littlest things.

Even that time we were together and you were the one to let go of my hand first.

 6  We cry a lot.

Even during movie dates.

Even our own happiness.

 9  We never really get over someone or something.

Because memories are priceless for us and the people we love are irreplaceable.
