If.


“Because I love you, you have to get rid of the toxic people you call friends… because I love you, you need to back off and give me space… “

I wish I could go back to that day.

I wish that day I had gotten rid of you instead of my best friend.

I wish I could go back in time and walk away the second you walked in the room.

If only I had done that,

I wouldn’t be up at night thinking about you,

Reminiscing and picturing you in my mind.

If I had gotten rid of you,

I wouldn’t be so stuck on you.

If I had gotten rid of you,

I would have never lost respect for myself when I begged you to stay.

If I had gotten rid of you,

I would have never let you treat me like if I was so little in this colossal world.

Because you loved me,

You should have been better and respected me.
