“This isn’t working.”
What a funny way to say that you’re leaving
A phrase that is arguably too simple for the mess it leaves behind
“It isn’t your fault.”
A cliche if I’ve ever heard one,
And trust me, I’ve heard many over the years
“I wasn’t ready.”
A funny thing to say
When you know at the beginning of anything
Whether you’re ready for it or not
And… “I don’t have time.”
And that’s what it all comes down to,
Isn’t it?
You didn’t have time to deal with me
Didn’t have time to communicate
Didn’t have time to put in the work
You didn’t want to MAKE time
Because I guess you never really
Cared about me in the first place

I'm still thinking of you, three months after everything, and I know it isn't fair to the people I love, but sometimes, you become addicted to the pain of wishing things had gone differently...
