untitled #4

I am certain of this.

I have never been certain of anything.

I arrived early.

I was already too late.

Nothing here matters.

This is the only thing that ever did.

I wanted to stay.

I planned my leaving from the start.

I remember everything clearly.

Memory keeps editing me.

I did no harm.

I learned how to hide the damage.

This was love.

It was never that simple.

I chose freely.

The choice was made for me.

I am finished.

I am still beginning.

I love you.

Well, you don't.
