I’m sorry
After all this time, I finally realize there is no world in which I am the one you can truly love— so in that case, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry I couldn’t make you feel joy as others did, but know I tried my absolute hardest.
I’m sorry that my hardest wasn’t your minimum.
I’m sorry for all the moments that you wished you’d be with someone who you love but were instead stuck with me.
I’m sorry to the future children running around the playground with your smile but another’s eyes— oh I’m sorry, I’m sorry I couldn’t be the parent I so hardly wanted to be.
So lastly, I’m sorry my love, I long for the days that’ll never come, and that too is my fault.
