i remember when i told you i loved you
and when you said it back, all i felt was joy.
i remember when i told you life would never
be the same without you, and when you agreed
i thought you were the one.
but then you hurt me and the pain i felt
was surreal. i didn't understand what was
happening, who you were turning into.
i remember the time you refused to tell
me you loved me, and the time you wouldn't
tuck me in bed because i had drunk too much
at that party, the time you told me to go to bed
because you didn't have the energy to deal with
my crying, the time you told me i was being silly
for telling you how happy i was i met you,
the time you yelled at me when you thought i
was implying you weren't serious about me.
i remember when you would want to stay
up late so we could chat all night
but then ignore me to play on your xbox,
the times when you would blank me for
sleeping early, or crying in the middle of
the night.
i remember you saying that i had lost
all my enthusiasm for you, that at any
chance i would erase you.
and i guess i had. because i remember
the day i finally had to courage to leave
you.
[i'm sorry but you weren't the one and i am so glad i left you.]
