_{it took me so long to admit to myself and
to her
that you can love someone and
still not be meant for each other.

but leaving her is like dropping a piano on your toe,
you did it
but you never expected it-
to hurt so much
you never expected the supernova in your chest when
you find her toothbrush in your bathroom and
you never meant to cry when you realize you still have her sweater
but it doesn't smell like her anymore

the day i finally admitted i needed to leave
was the third time i cut too deep
and the first hospital visit explaining to people in white
why i was wearing blood on the
wrong side of my skin again.

see, i never meant to hurt so many people
i never meant to hurt her.
i'm just the forest fire in love with the trees.}
