I Knew His Quirks

I knew...

I knew his quirks

I knew his quirks.
I knew everything there was to know
I knew that he hated chocolate
I knew his favorite drink
I knew when he was thinking
I knew when he disliked something
I knew when he was confused
I knew when he was upset
I knew when he was excited
I knew when he had a bad dream
I knew when he didn't dream
I knew what time he woke up
I knew what he spent his day doing
I knew his goals
I knew his favorite food
I knew what pant he loved the most
I knew how he preferred his hair
I knew his favorite sports team
I knew his goto outfit
I knew what time he went to bed
I knew that he cared about me

I knew all of these things.
But now I know.

I know that he isn't right for me
I know that I loved him
I know he didn't love me
I know his eyes wander easy
I know that I'm always second place
I know he broke me in a beautiful way
I know I changed myself for him
I know I love the changes
I know he's an asshole
I know that I'll miss him
I know that I'm better without him
I know he'll never change

I know his quirks

....and his demons.
