"you are learning"

by magnoliajelly

i say out loud, for the first time, that we will not be getting back together and it's such an exciting feeling it tastes so sour and scary and sweet you will not be coming back i don't even know if it matters to you but you will not be coming back to me and its okay it is completely okay sometimes i will think so fondly of the love i had for you and what you gave me too and my unrelenting pouring endless infinite soft blubbering like champagne or something as decadent it just kept on expanding and expanding and expanding until it stopped i think i stopped it you will always have a soft and safe space inside me i think something of you was born in me and i think something of me was born in you and thats why i was able to recognize you so easily because something of you is me and so i saw myself i will love you my whole life long but i'll put it in my palms now tender touch i can't have you in this heart anymore i am not 17 anymore and this is no longer about you you were never scared to hurt me for yourself and now i am unafraid too
