Single

The one I loved was hurting me inside


He was perfect but he only gave attention when he wanted too


He doesn’t know how to process emotions as moving made sure he couldn’t get attached


He was perfect if he put in the effort


He was perfect if he let it out


He is perfect but not to me right now


He knows it’s a problem


He sobbed when I broke up with him but buried the rest since he doesn’t know how to process it


I want him to know it’s okay


It wasn’t an easy decision for me but his lack of emotion and attention was killing me


I don’t know if I made a mistake


I was asking for the bare minimum


He would meet it and exceed when he wanted too


He held the door open today


A meet up where we would give stuff back but he doesn’t believe gifts of any kind should be given back


So I keep my jewelry and his sweatshirt


I don’t know if I’ll find someone again but we are still friends


If he changes for himself to a man he is proud of


I will sure get him back


I have my own issues


I need reassurance


I don’t need a mind reader I just need an excessive carer


So now I’ve cried and cried


I missed my chance for one last hug


I don’t know if I’ll get it again


He cares, I know he can be who I want


But that won’t happen


He lives for himself


So he will change for himself


So I’ll wait


But now I’m not in pain


For the most part


I love you L


Now I’ll wait to see if you’ll become one who I will willingly give my love too.
