I left you. I don’t deny it. I also don’t deny the spark that turned into an explosion that was our love. But like all explosions, they leave damage. I left you because I was selfish. Because I was so close. A wise woman once told me, “to love is to give a part of yourself.” And frankly, I had a habit of giving everything. I began to visualize the future I know we’d never have. A future that’d haunt me. I began to fall deeper and deeper in love with you and I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to fall for you so early. But I did. I wanted so bad to give you my love, but I also wanted to protect myself from heartbreak.. How selfish. I left you. I love you. I don’t deny it.
