You've always been forgetful
You'd forget to turn the lights off
You'd forget to close the toothpaste
You'd forget your clothes in the drier
You'd forget to charge your phone
You'd forget to feed the fish
...
So I did all these things for you
You see, I was convinced that showing you was better than telling you
But you never saw it, now did you?
*- Sometimes I'd forget to do all these things on purpose,
so I would remember how it felt like to be with you -*
I secretly hope that you can't find your clothes
and your fish die
and your electric bill reaches a 100 billion dollars
Just so you could see
that I was good for you
You know what? No. ________
NO, NO
NO
I do secretly hope that your phone dies
and your clothes get lost
and your fish die
and your toothpaste gets dried up
But only so you could learn the importance of what I used to do
to recognize your faults
and to try and improve, not for me
but for you.
... and I'm not talking about the toothpaste here
*You can't demonstrate the change you want to see in someone
if they don't even understand the error in their ways*
and so,
I don't want to be the person
who struggles to forgive and forget
I want to be the person
who lives with no regret
knowing that us, ending,
was for the best.
and the best
of each of us
