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.
