I wished for you to have the world,
but,
I didn't really mean it.
because it will never be easy to look at what you have
and not want it for me, too.
but I can't give you
what I'll never have,
so at least one of us is getting what we want.
I wish you the world in the selfish way,
because we all already know that I am.
Selfish, maybe rightly so,
but genuine, because I'm not blind.
I know what you deserve.
I wish in selfish ways but mean the things I say,
so at least you know I'm not lying,
even if I resent that fact that it could have been me.
us.
but we weren't happy.
I know we weren't.
I know you would insist you were.
I wasn't happy,
I wasn't doing it right,
and I made you cry,
made you work harder
than anyone should ever have to,
and that's never good.
so I wish you the world,
because happiness is hard to find,
and I'd rather hope and pray you get your share
than attempt to find mine.
I want you to live,
and laugh,
and be,
because you deserve, I know you deserve,
someone far better than me.
