it isn’t fair on this side either. i loved you too.
i loved us too.
it was me who laid down my heart first, don’t you remember? whispering in your ear, in front of an impressionist painting, begging you and the universe for forever.
never once did i hear you beg for me.
beg for time and space and will to bend in just the right ways.
never once did i ask for you to lay down on the train tracks with me.
but i should have.
i just didn’t want to hear you say “no”.
