Giving up for now?

My heart still loves you
But I've decided to let it go
Cause I want someone who will
Put as much work into this as I do
So, I guess in short
You're just not grown enough for me

Still, I ponder upon how
I was able to embrace you
The warmth and safety I felt in that
Tender moment
And the small blush when I asked
To kiss your cheek
Oh, but I really wanted you to kiss me

We could talk for hours
And it will never feel like enough time
Lost in the tranquility of your blue eyes
I wish it were easier
I wish you were here with me now
I'm trying this out

But you're stuck in your life
Everything that's going on
The betrayal felt from your parents' divorce
Everything is happening too fast
New work, new life, more things to do
And you don't want me enough to
Fit in time for me through all of it...

I just want a "Hey, how are you? Tell me about your day. I'm really busy, so sorry if I can't text you back right away."

But now it's just silence and an occasional video or meme
I guess that's our thing
I feel friendzoned
I feel like this is all it will ever be
With us at least

So, I'm doing my best to let this go.
Not that I ever wanted it
to be this way
...

And yet, maybe it's all too early to say
This situation is all too new
For both of us
Especially me
I've only ever experienced speedy romances that dissipated just as fast
Well, it was more like I was used
Always the rebound girl
...
So, I'm grateful that you were able to teach me to slow down more at least

Thank you 🩶
