'Maybe in another lifetime'

Words that cut her deeper than the knife stashed away ever could

Words that hurt her more than she could begin to explain

Yet she just smiled through it

'Ofcourse! See you later'

They haven't spoken since

She never actually planned on speaking with him again

It was more of an act, some would say

He didn't ever really care about her, but he still wanted to let her down easily.

Which if anything, hurt more.

She wasn't vulnerable

She wasn't pitiful

No, she wasn't strong

And no, she didn't truly ever lover herself

But it gave her some comfort, those words

Maybe in another lifetime they would be perfect for each other

Maybe then, she could have been happy with how she looked

Maybe in another lifetime
