What if I ran when you told me to? What if I hadn’t said no? What if I had left you the way you left me? And what if you weren’t the first girl? Would I have loved you the same? Would I still be bound and chained by this addiction? I grew closer to you than anyone, I sang to you on the phone before your surgery, I straightened your hair when you couldn’t lift your shoulder How do you reconcile this? How do you rationalize it? Or discard it? I couldn’t always be there for you, But I always tried, Despite the distance, I always tried
