I think I hurt you—
From the moment I left, I knew.
No one else slipped into my world
The way you used to do.

You said you hated me,
For the bruise I left in you.
You cried, eyes wide with disbelief,
At lies I told—not true.

They wrapped your world in silent ache,
But I only smiled it through.
I didn’t want you to see me break—
So I chose to wound you too.

I couldn’t say I'm sorry—
Had to let my words sound cruel.
But even then...
Why didn’t you walk away? Why didn’t you move through?

For the love you gave,
I began to hate you—
Not for who you were,
But for all I couldn't do.

And when you're alone,
I won’t be the one to reach for you.
If ever it feels like you’re not home,
Please—don’t wait. Find someone new.

All this, I wish I said.
But I just stare instead—
At the gravel where you used to cry,
Wishing my touch could still get through...
Wishing you'd feel me too.
