I wanted to drown in your love. I wanted to drown in your pain. I mostly just wanted to drown out the sound of you saying we weren't compatible anymore.
It took me a long time and a lot of rage and self loathing to get to where I am now. To get me to a point where I can say that my self esteem issues didn't ruin "us" but that you're lack of trust in love did.
I wanted to be ignited by your love. I wanted to be ignited by your pain. Mostly I wanted to ignite the fire that used to burn inside you with such intensity and joy for life.
Once I realized you would never admit your faults and you would find any possible way to watch me suffer; it was time to move on. But each time around the start of fall till the end of winter... I dream about you endlessly.
I wanted to slow down Your love. I wanted to slow down your pain. Mostly... I wanted to slow down time and stop us so we had time to figure out who we were together instead of damaging each other apart.
It took a lot of rage and self loathing. It took a lot of tears and anxiety. But I'm finally standing taller than ever and I can easily say it was not my self esteem that made us incompatible.
