Chapter 14 - 05012022.

It's been three years

Since the day I walked away from you.

Away from whom?

The one that I thought

That I'd give every day to.

-

Back in 2020

Had they asked if I would walk away,

I would have laughed in their face,

and told them they were fucking crazy.

-

It amazes me

How quickly time

Can bend around our hearts.

How that same amount of time

Can push the strongest love apart.

-

And I remember all the times

I sat and stared at you from across the room...

The thought of losing you 

Was more than enough 

To fill my soul with doom...

And gloom...

And dread...

It was all in my head

It was all in my heart.

In all the words she said.

-

And I swear

I meant all of the promises made.

But I no longer carry

The debt left unpaid.

-

And I'll never regret

All the seeds that we laid

But the seasons will change,

And nostalgia will fade...

-

It's okay.

It's been 1045 days.

When I look back,

I no longer think

"I should have stayed".

-

I know I should have left

When you found those old texts.

When you stole my old phone.

When you went through my messages.

-

Tested me...

I ate all of your pettiness

For breakfast.

Bought you that ring

That you were on your necklace...

-

Through thick and thin

Girl, I gave you all of my bestest.

My best.

All the rest.

Even started a wedding guestlist...

-

But fuck...

At the end of the day, I digress.

I will always love you.

I still wish you the best.

-

Like...

You've changed me

And we know scars will never heal.

But I know that 

Whatever love you did have 

Was probably real.
