I Hope This Reaches Her in Time

i was the ocean

you wanted rivers

i was the moon

you chased the stars

your absence taught me

how to be my own lover

all of her stars are burning

you can miss people

but you don’t have to

want them back

you can forgive people

but you don’t have to

give them second chances

you are chained

to the past

it’s time to free yourself

you deserve so much more

than what you’ve been given

you owe it to yourself

to give yourself the love

that you’ve misplaced in others

you should have tried harder for her

you should have loved her
when she cared

the girl who deserves the sun

is tired of being rained on

the girl you don’t appreciate

will get tired of loving you

someone better than you

will love her in all the ways

you couldn’t
