Pieces and parts
of me
wish you'd never leave
but hey
I know
you.
Sometimes
I wish I could say
"Hey...I'm sorry"
but then I realize
you should be the one who's sorry.
You don't know
you never did,
but I want to say
Hello again.

I don't know why,
I don't want to miss you.
I don't think
I miss YOU
I miss who you were.
I miss every word you'd say
and my favorite
was waking up to texts you sent
after I fell asleep on the phone.
Those times
when you'd sent multiple texts
in a row
about me,
about us,
about everything.
I miss that.
I miss the security
the safety.
But all it became
was deadly
because your love
my love
our love...
never seemed to work.
It never seemed enough.

Pieces and parts of me miss you
but the rest of me
shuts you out...
I will no longer be the toy
whose affections
you played with.
I only wish I could tell you just once...
That I know who you are
underneath this facade.

I actually am sorry.
That I couldn't help you.
I am sorry
that whatever I did wasn't enough.
And I am sorry
that I never gave up.
