Once upon a time ,
there were people who cared ,
people who laughed,
people who cried,
with me.

It was a long time ago,
when I felt included,
I felt safe,
I felt necessary,
with them.

I can barely remember,
the times we spent talking,
times we spent scheming,
times we spent together,
just you and me.

I now know,
that I am not perfect,
I am not worthy,
I am not good enough,
to be around you.

I wish you could see,
how much it hurts me,
how much it tears me,
how much it angers me,
to see you happy without me.

You know I'll remember you,
like when we shared secrets,
when we poured out our hearts,
when we opened each others eyes,
even in the hardest of times.

I'm letting you know,
that you should live well,
you should move on,
you should leave me here,
because you don't need to feel my pain.
