you were good enough

you were in love
but I said
that I didn’t want
to date someone

not because of you
just due to my past

but when I met a boy
I loved
and cared about
I stayed with him

but you thought
you weren’t good enough
for me

you were

you wanted ’us’

but did you want
to have
an unrequited love?

was it better for you
to be with me
just ‘cause you loved me
not ‘cause I loved you?

it’s hard
to break your heart

it’s harder
than I thought
it’d be

and if you ever loved me
why didn’t you respect
my choice?

why did you try
to tell bad things
behind my back?

you were good enough
but now you aren’t
