i think the saddest part of it all is this:
i loved you.
i saw the worst and sharpest parts of you. I held them in my hands and let them scrape my palms until it scarred.
i believed in you. i helped you carry the weight on your back, assuring you that we would make it to the peak in no time.
i wanted you. i saw a future in your eyes and safety in your arms. i looked at you so softly, so tenderly.
i loved you. it wasn’t enough to make you stay.
i loved you. the stars in my eyes dimmed the reality of who you were.
i loved you.
you’ll never know that warmth again.
