tears to the tide
I knew you were bound to leave at some point, I just wasn't aware that it would be so soon.
you left me so abruptly, so selfishly. I hated you for a while and I never understood how I could fall asleep in your arms one night and wake up alone the next morning.
for a long time I blamed myself, but I should have known. you were always made for such greater things. I think you knew it too, you were just waiting for the right time.
I knew you were bound to leave at some point, but I never knew it would hurt so much.
because now that you're flying, I'm drowning. and I realize now I never could swim. so bring my tears to the tide and let me slip away.
and part of me resents you for it, but part of me admires you for it. I hate you because you destroyed me and I'll never be the same. but at the same time, I have to admire how you did it. it was unexpected and unexplained yet somehow it wasn't.
I knew you were bound to leave at some point, I guess I was just hoping it wouldn't be like this.
