Every word you’ve said to me

Has either been

I’ll stop keeping secrets from you

I’ll always be your friend

I’d choose you any day

I promise

I didn’t believe you

It kept happening

She left us

I thought I was becoming a third wheel

I got cursed at

Accused of not telling you at the beginning

But I did

You were too in love to realize

What I felt

Even though I told you

A lot

But you’re way better than her

You didn’t leave me

Or ignore me

Or take me for advantage

Like she did

All I’ve done is hurt you

And make you cry

And I’ve done terrible things

And influenced you the wrong way

You’ve never done anything to me

Never gotten mad at me

Never overreacted

Like I did

So

Many

Times

I’m so sorry

For everything

But we’re better now

The absence is still keenly felt

But the gaps can be refilled
