Never Enough

“I forgive you…”

“It’s alright…”

“I still love you.”

Remember me for faster sign in

for something I never did,

for something I never said.

It got to the point where I didn’t even know why I was still apologising when it was never enough.

So I stopped,

stopped trying to make you happy,

Stopped trying to make you accept me.

on myself,

And I gave up on us

and one day without even realising

I thought about us for the Very. Last. Time.
