And Yet


Heartbroken

Crestfallen

I thought you were safe

I thought you'd be careful with my heart

Because you were my best friend

But you did all the things you told your previous boyfriend not to

You told him not to ignore you

You told him to do the little things

And yet I found myself telling you the same thing

“I just want to hold your hand,”

A phrase said too many times

I kissed you on your forehead

I sent you paragraphs about how much I loved you while you were asleep

I told you goodnight and good morning every day for two months

I did everything I wanted you to do to me

And yet

I got barely anything

And yet

You broke up with me

And yet

I still love you

And yet

And ye

And y

And

An
