An ode to the one
Itâs 3 am The world is at its quietest Youâre sound asleep in your bed unaware of how much Iâm missing you
I heard the series of voice notes you sent me the other day It made me feel happy,even if it was just for a few seconds I was happy,I havenât been happy since you left Without a word,without a smile and without an explanation
I would have liked to say that I loved you But I didnât I donât. You were just familiar to me Your voice gave me chills Your laugh made me smile even at the hardest of times Your hug gave me warmth But I didnât love you You were just familiar faces
Someone told me youâve moved on That youâre dating a guy now He makes you happy He isnât as awkward as I am He takes you out To him coming to meet you doesnât mean crossing a freaking lake
Someone asked me a question the other day They asked me what my story was How could i tell them that my story is only half written How itâs a series of unrequited love Several instances of hurt Days and nights of endless tears How can I tell them about you
The awkward girl with self confidence issues The one whose voice lights up my day How a a shitty day gets better with just one text How everything around reminds me of you How Iâve stopped hurting myself because you hated it
I still think about you I still watch from a distance I still think about âlittle spoonâ and playful banter I didnât love you I loved everything about you.
Iâd like to say Iâve moved on now Itâs been 4 months since I last saw you but all I can think about is how I wasnât enough for you How everything I did to make you happy just wasnât worth it in the end How you just left like I was nothing to you
I was scrolling through my messages and I came across an unopened one from you It pained me to see your name on the screen Itâs like all the unanswered questions all came rushing back at once All the whyâs and howâs came up to the surfaces rushing out like my feelings Like the tears threatening to fall on this paper But me being an idiot,I decided to open it You had finally apologised.
âIâm sorry for all Iâve doneâ you said âIt was wrong for me to tear you down I know I hurt you bad but everyone makes mistakesâ I wish I had shut my phone or just deleted that message for had I known it would have hurt less âI love you and Iâm sorry please take me backâ I could hear your voice crying in my head You donât know how hard it was for me to let you go You were supposed to be in this audience cheering me on âWrite about me one last time you saidâ So here you go âold buddyâ Hereâs an ode to the one who broke me beyond repair"
