I think the only reason I fell for you was because you felt like home.
My personal childhood bedroom filled with nostalgic memories,
Just like the one you will never be invited into again.
You smelled like fall in highschool.
The way the halls would smell,
With warm greetings and new scents everyone found during the summer.
You made me feel like a kid again,
Which I thought was a good thing,
Until you told me to grow up.
You told me that when you first met me you saw me as a weak girl that wasn’t doing much for herself.
In reality, I was doing everything I could for me.
I got out of bed when I felt like I couldn’t.
I ate when I felt like I didn’t deserve to.
I guess that’s why you wouldn’t like me now.
I am not weak anymore,
And I know you would have hated that.
