i learned more
in your silence
than i ever did
in your arms.
i learned more
about being alone
when you'd reject my calls
than i ever did
when you actually left.
i learned more
about being a friend
when you always needed me
but i wasn't allowed to need you.
i learned more
in your voicemail
than i ever did
in your voice.
- I let these burden me for longer than I should've, but now I know that you taught me these things because you could never accept them for yourself.
