Sorry for not taking better care of you. Sorry for not loving you enough. Sorry for not being honest. I tried, I really tried. And I failed, miserably. You were the best I could have had. I knew it then. I admit it now. For those who keep asking why can't I let you go, the answer is simple - I'm scared. Not of loneliness. But of the fact that one day I am going to meet someone, I'm going to fall in love, he is going to let me down, and I am going to think of you. The one who always made me feel safe. The one who treated me respectfully. The one who lavished me with love and affection. I am going to meet a much colder version of myself. And he is going to shatter me. And I will go back and think of you. And repent that I should have given us another chance. But I can't anymore. I can't take care of the both of us. We need to grow, independently this time, I'm afraid. It's time I lay you to rest.

Lay you to rest (not a poem)
