dear adam,

I wish I could have been the person you wanted,

the person you wished,

the person you hoped I would be.

you needed someone to whisper sweet nothings to you as you fell asleep, to bring you coffee in bed, to listen intently without judgment, to hold you when the world became too overwhelming to bear.

you needed someone soft and tender, someone who understood the meaning of love just as much as the inner workings of your heart. 

someone sweet enough to care, and brave enough to stay. 

I'm sorry, adam. 

I was never quiet enough, considerate enough, understanding enough, comforting enough, tender enough, or brave enough for you.

and for that I will always be sorry. 

sorry I couldn't be the person you deserved.
