I wish I could lie,
And say you left me empty.
Use the absence of one last goodbye,
As an excuse for me being petty.
I wish I could convince my heart,
That the distance made me crazy,
And you were the reason I fell apart.
Like it was that easy.
But I don’t blame you for these tears,
I blame gravity.
And you have never been the reason for these fears,
It’s just my insecurities,
My inability
To separate fantasies from my reality.
This whole time, it was never you,
It was me.
