Maybe it was never love
Maybe it was the idea of being loved that kept you here
Maybe it was the hope that someone, anyone could fix the brokenness you try so hard to hide
And this isn't my attempt to invalidate the feelings you say you have
It's my attempt at validating mine
It's my attempt at reasoning with the hurt I feel everyday you distance yourself
My attempt at grasping the little threads you give me
You say you can't love me the way I want and I am trying so hard to be okay with that
But I'm not
Not because I don't love you
But because I can see that things will never go back to the way they were
We said this was just a pause but I think we already left the theatre
And I'm not sure you have an intention on going back
I never wanted you to be another chapter in my life
But this chapter is getting way too hard for me to read
So maybe I'll write another dear Emely
But this will be my last yours truly
Thank you for the times you made me happy but you don't do that any more
This is not me trying to make you feel like shit
This is my way of letting go
This doesn't have to be a goodbye
Maybe one day we can be friends
But right now I can't
Because loving you has become painful
A little piece of my heart will always be yours
I pinky promise
I love you Emely
Yours truly
Destiny
