I remember the days

when we promised we'll stay together til the end

that we'll grow old together

planning our fanciest marriages

and our future trips all around the world

i never thought things would turn out the way it did

i was here for you

in the stormy nights

you needed a shoulder to lean on

and i happened to be here

but little did i know what was coming


sometimes I wonder

when did it start to change?

why did you start to let me down?

I thought I was just being selfish

and kept on focusing on your problems

rather than allowing myself to not feel okay

I tried to reach out

to look for the help I gave you

I thought you'd be here when I felt down

turns out you never came


it was the first time you abandoned me


but you were there in the happy moments

I thought I was just being selfish again

and that, deep down, nothing changed

after all, you were going through rough times

you would have been there for me if you were feeling better, right?

but I never had the answer

I let that slide

again

because it's easier


after all, we always smile when we're together, right?

we're always happy.

As if nothing ever happened.

But I guess I was the only one that cared


writing this feels like I wanted more than just friendship

at some point I did

I had mistaken my pure and innocent admiration for you

for something else

it hurt, at that time

all those people you dated

I knew I would never be enough

but, if I told you

would you have played with my feelings as well?

Would you have liked me?

Made me hope, but never really front me?

Would I have been even more broken than I am right now?


Took me a while to realize that I didn't love you
