We were in love. What we couldn't handle was learning to open our eyes. We didn't know how to look at the big picture all while making sure the details were just right. Instead, we a smaller yet pretty picture, a decoration, an accessory... A distraction. We treated each other as distractions. You deserved better and I'm sorry.
