I never saw it before. I never saw the half-empty stares,
The slow replies, the half attention you would give me.
I was so infatuated by you that I never noticed how little you gave me.
And that's the thing about people, you can't see clearly when they're here, and you can't see clearly when they're gone.
Because I sit here and I know that what we had was nothing, but when I think about it, it was everything.
Nostalgia is a dirty liar and I can't tell what was real and what wasn't.
I know my feelings were all real and you knew that too. You knew I'd give up anything for you. And when I remember you, I don't remember how little you gave back,
I don't remember how when I needed you, you were never actually there.
And I don't remember all the bad things you did to me when all I did was love you.
But I remember the good, I remember laughing and feeling like I'm home when you walked into the same room as me.
And I can't distinguish which of these versions was our real relationship because I don't remember.
All I remember is looking at you thinking you were the world.
The truth is, I could reflect on us all day long, I could rethink every single conversation we had and that wouldn't tell me what we were to you because the truth is I'll never know. I'll never know what we were, I only know my version.
And as much as I don't want to accept this, the truth is you never really cared. You were just bored and I was just there. You never had any feelings, and I think in a way I knew it all along. I was just trying to convince myself it wasn't true. I was just trying to find any sign that proved it otherwise, but the signs were all there.
They were all there, I just chose to ignore them.
