i didn't actually think
ignoring you for three years
would be our end.
i just needed some space, mom.
now, all i want is this space to leave
and to feel whole again.
i wanted to call you
or send a simple
i love you
but i just couldn't.
i'm just a kid, mom.
that wasn't supposed to be goodbye.
why didn't i say goodbye?
