and it's a terrible thing
to wish —
break ups are awful
but necessary.
they are necessary for
growth.
break ups are the
results of a relationship
that's no longer there.
       at least it should be.
       that's what i tell myself.

but when i go to bed,
i'm still not over
all the things that we've done,
and i'm still not sure i
know how we got here.
it was all going so well
and then it w a s n ' t.

but because i am selfish,
there are nights
when i go to bed,
and i close my eyes
and wish
that you'll never fall
in love again.

i don't mean it.
i really don't.
but a part of me
still wishes it.

it's wrong, i know.
i'm sorry, i'm selfish.
