You don't care.

Maybe you

Never did.

You've ghosted me

For over a week.

You wanted to win my heart,

But then decided

You didn't want it.

You said all the right things.

But it didn't matter,

At least not to you.

It mattered to me.

I jumped in with both feet,

And didn't look back.

But that was my mistake.

Your mistake

Was immaturity.

I still wanted to be friends,

Or classmates,

Or something more than strangers

With some memories.

But you ghosted me.

You won't talk to me.

You've shut me out,

And I'm finally

Done

Knocking.

It's time for me

To move

On.

Waiting around for you to change

Or act like an adult

Is damaging

My psyche,

My spirit,

And heart.

So I'm done.

I'm letting go and

I hope you accomplish all your dreams.

I hope you find God.

I hope you do all the things

You said you would.

I hope you chase your dreams.

I hope you're happy

And I wish you all the best.

I'm glad our paths crossed,

Even if they drifted in opposite directions

After getting twisted

And tangled

For a brief moment.

Thanks for teaching me some

Valuable lessons.
