i wish i could be what you want or what you need. i could be either, but at this point it would only seem like i’m trying to win you back, selfishly. i wish i had told you who i am. maybe if i had told you who i am things would be different now. but it’s too late. it’s too late for us, too late for me to tell you who i am. so i’ll just scrub my skin and wash my brain, and try not rip at my flesh because i don’t want to cause you more pain. i wish things were different, i wish things were the same. i want you to be happy, i want to be happy too; i wish i could be happy with you. i wish i could have been myself with you.
