I finally realized something.
I thought I loved you
That you were the only person for me
But I wasn't in love with you
I was in love with the way I felt when you were with me
I was in love with being held and not sleeping alone
I was in love with having a conversation with new ears listening
I was in love with what you gave me
This does not mean I was in love with you
I'm finding peace in this realization
I now know what I need from someone and to not ignore the red flags
I now know that all our times together weren't happy
The way you made me feel completely worthless
How when we made plans you wouldn't show up and the next day act like nothing was wrong
I was okay with it then because at least you were giving me any attention at all
That wasn't right
I shouldn't have been okay with that
I now know what love really is
And you weren't it
If you were
Your actions would've proved otherwise
Thank you for treating me the way you did
