I thought I’d burn the city down if we couldn’t be together, but when I saw you happy with your solitary life, I couldn’t even light a match

I loved you enough to destroy myself over this, until I realized I loved you too much to ruin your peace.

Because you’ve always known how to live on your own. And you always choosing yourself over anything else. So why did i try to interupt? To make you choose me over the whole life you’ve built?

Because love, sometimes, is more complicated than the way the mind works. I tried so hard to understand all of this, yet somehow I ruined us while searching for the answer. It was like trying to stab myself without realizing you were the one standing in front of the knife.

And keeping you near no longer feels safe. I thought you were the safest place I had ever known, yet I was the one who brought the storm. I ruined the most beautiful place I had ever visited. I picked every flower blooming in your garden, only to burn them into ashes

And the worst part is, you’re still standing there, untouched by the chaos, casually telling me you’re ready for a call.
