I gave you effort time and space Held your heart like something fragile You said it’s hard to open up So I waited I understood I never forced never rushed Still I wasn’t enough I asked what we are You said just a friend So I stayed quiet Even when it hurt Even when your silence Felt louder than words You never posted me Never claimed me Said you weren’t ready And now There he is In your story With a heart on his face And kesayangan in the caption It’s only been a month You moved on Like I was nothing Blocked me like I didn’t matter Then unblocked Just to keep me hanging You said it wasn’t easy to open your heart But it looks easy now So was I just the in-between The maybe The practice run It breaks me Because I was real I was honest And you were temporary But I’ll carry this pain Not to stay broken But to remind myself Next time I’ll never beg to be chosen

After Everything
I gave you effort time and space Held your heart like something fragile You said it’s hard to open up So I waited I understood I never forced never rushed Still I wasn’t enough I asked what we are You said just a friend So I stayed quiet Even when it hurt Even when your silence Felt louder than words You never posted me Never claimed me Said you weren’t ready And now There he is In your story With a heart on his face And kesayangan in the caption It’s only been a month You moved on Like I was nothing Blocked me like I didn’t matter Then unblocked Just to keep me hanging You said it wasn’t easy to open your heart But it looks easy now So was I just the in-between The maybe The practice run It breaks me Because I was real I was honest And you were temporary But I’ll carry this pain Not to stay broken But to remind myself Next time I’ll never beg to be chosen
