Dear You

My dear you...

People say that you’ve matured,

and that’s why you’re different.

I don’t understand what

maturing has to do with selfishness.

I know your heart broke,

but what you never knew

is that I’m still mending mine.

You inspired me

to be bold.

I inspired you

to be true.

But now all we do is scold.

A simple conversation

can’t be carried out,

and this pains me.

You gave up first.

No.

That’s not it.

You realized first;

that we were inevitable.

Yet inevitably, we stopped.

But I’m

Still

Hoping

Stupid me.

I know,

it’s not your fault.

I was pure, and sweet,

but life’s shown me,

that it only you a

misfit.

You taught me to be daring,

and not to apologize

for how I feel,

and what I want.

So,

how do you expect me

to settle for what you’re not.

I loved you.

Maybe I still do.

Maybe that’s why I keep fighting,

and pleading to whoever

is out there listening,

that one day,

you might still listen too.
