First love 
It was me I missed.
 I miss the me that loved so freely,
 the me that trusted you to protect me.
 I loved you because I loved me then.
 I was vulnerable.
I was naive.
I gave in willingly to be yours—
just to feel something. You took me for granted.
 You found someone new.
 Yet you came back, time and time again.
 I was your safe place,
your comfort.
 You are selfish! I’m left to pick up the pieces
, whenever you decide to leave. I let you back in,
but I grew numb….no I am numb—not knowing if I even wanted you back anymore. I know we both care,
 but we both had growing up to do. I had to learn to do so without you. I cannot carry your pain
 and carry mine too.
 Time heals, words fade.
 Actions show.
You’re a beautiful mistake. I choose me, not you.
