i think her mother looks at me now
and sees a warning sign
not a boy who got hurt
not someone terrified of losing the person he loves
just the aftermath of it all
the arguments
the overthinking
the intensity
the way pain started leaking into everything
and i understand why
because from the outside
it probably looked like i was becoming too much
too emotional
too attached
too overwhelmed by the relationship
and maybe i was
pain changes people quietly
until one day
even the people who love them
don’t recognize them anymore
but i wish she knew
i never wanted to make her daughter feel trapped
or pressured
or exhausted
i was just scared
scared of losing someone
i loved so deeply
that every little change felt like the beginning of the end
and now i think her mother hears my name
and feels worried before anything else
worried that loving me
comes with too much sadness attached to it
and that hurts in a way i can’t explain
because i love her daughter gently
even if my fear stopped looking gentle
and maybe her mother only sees the fear now
the damage
the emotional weight of everything
while i sit here
wishing she could see me
before all the hurt changed me into this version of myself
because i was never trying to destroy her daughter
i was just trying desperately
not to lose her
and somewhere along the way
that desperation started looking like danger
instead of pain

I know your mom probably sees me differently now, and honestly, I understand why. I know things got really emotional and messy sometimes. But underneath all of that, I never stopped loving you genuinely. I was just scared of losing someone who meant everything to me. I know I’m not perfect, but none of my feelings for you were fake. Even through all the hurt and confusion, I still care about you deeply, and I still want us to heal instead of fall apart.
