The Only Story I Cannot Rewrite
I want to go back to standing in the hallway that day.
I want to not just walk away and have you grab my arm.
I want to not pull you into me and pretend to love you for a few more minutes.
Not let you put your faith in me one last time.
I want to step back from you, ignoring your tears.
Though you and I both know that it killed me to see you cry.
I wish I could go back and redo this but it was always be a fading daydream, a story that can only end one way.
With tears, someone being broken and lost in the end.
But this is the right way, the way things should've gone about.
To kiss you on the cheek.
To say that I'm sorry.
To say that I cheated.
And that I'm sorry but I have to go.
We are not what we were before.
And that I do love you, just not the same anymore.
I did for a very long time.
But we can't be together anymore.
Good-bye.
And than I should've walked away.
Whether I had tears in my eyes or not.
Whether it hurt or not.
We should've broken up.
And I should've went to him.
Let go of you and moved on.
Left you instead of hurting us both in the end.
I'm sorry.
But this is the only story I can't rewrite.
And it hurts me to think about it.
An untouchable dream.
A broken nightmare that will forever haunt me.
To the end of time and back.
