I'll Take The L

March 23, 2018

I know that you deserve it all.

Yet, I wasn't ready to give you what you wanted.

Didn't comprehend that I'd never measure up to what you need.

Selflessly, I watched from the sidelines.

Assuming that you were content.

Missing you but I didn't want to confuse the situation so I remained silent for as long as I could.

I wish you the best.

You deserve the type of love that helps you heal.

The kind of understanding that even when you cry, she just holds you tighter.

It felt like we were lovers.

Destined to meet.

I needed your smile to shine a path on my dark days.

I needed to see you in person at least once, so that I can feel the exact moment that we touch from soul to soul.

You're love is like volcanic eruptions.

I'll dance inside of your lava, waiting as you calm down.

I will always be drawn to your light.

Even if it was only once

I needed to see the love in your eyes that I felt in my heart
