& you know what hurts the most
that you were not the person
there for me anymore
to kiss me goodnight
comfort me during nightmares
& still be there in the morning
after going through it all
& eventually it got lonely
without your presence in my life
i kept waiting for you to come
& part of me knew you were not
but a small part of me still held on
because that is what i do
i keep a small fracture of hope
hope for you & i
if you were not going to
i was
& you still never came around
so i had to become that person
to kiss myself goodnight
comfort myself during nightmares
because it was still i
who was there in the morning
after going through it all
but this time
it was without you
& if you ever decide to return
i will be strong enough
to leave beautifully like you did
because i am now able to play both roles
since you decided to turn your script in
