some things are meant to be left behind

sometimes i wonder why what i do
and
how i show affection isn't enough

you meet someone and it's all good at first
then just switches up

days turn into months
contact slows down
the flirting just dies off

and you're left with the thought of removing them

forever

i did before,
instantly regretted it

came back,
things just got worse

i miss how he was,
i don't like this new him

i don't even know this man even though i've been in his car so many times

we kissed so many times
we touched so many times

we exchanged compliments so many times

but the one thing was missing was his effort

it slowly went down the drain

i deserve better

one morning i woke up,
and i realized i didn't want to go through it anymore and took him off everything

what you want me to do

i tried

he didn't even want to talk about himself,
so what was the point in talking to him

if he cares,
he will message me

if he will be in my life,
he will

but for now,
this remains a mystery i cannot foresee

i can usually read people very well

but with him,
it's nearly impossible

i don't know what goes through his mind

i don't know what he truly thinks

but what i do know is that at the beginning
i never wanted to stop feeling what he made me feel

i miss him,
but i have to leave him behind

for real this time

you never know what the future holds

but for now,
this is my world
and you only exist in it if i want you to
