Feelings Never Truly Realised

It's the fifth time I've cried over you this week
And it's only Tuesday morning
And even though we were never quite like that
My heart's gone into mourning
You made me feel so defined til you erased me
I felt special until you replaced me
I never understood why I wasn't good enough
Then I realised I wasn't strong
That I wasn't smart
That I weren't the one to capture your heart
And yet,
Why do I regret
What never happened?
I regret never being able to see you laugh,
I regret not living til 23.
I regret not waking up and realising
It's not just you,
It's you and me.
