It was all over so quickly.

and it hadn't even truly started.

I had tried though,

and that's what counts, right?

I had tried to make you smile.

I had tried to make you laugh.

I had tried to break your shell.

I had tried to make you feel something,

anything,

for me.

I had tried so hard.

Look where it got us.

You.

Happy.

Unbroken.

The same you ever were.

Me.

Sad.

Shattered.

The same I ever was.

I'm not trying anymore.
