it's easy to remember the kisses, the laughter.
the way your name felt soft on my tongue.

but, what about the nights i slept alone?
the fights that left my heart bruised?
the slience so heavy that it choked me.
being shut out, locked away from you by you.

no photos of my tears.
no post of my emptiness that settled in my chest.
as if love's ugliest moments didn't existed.

and, here's the truth i never wanted to learn.
: spoiler alert - *** never makes someone love you.
not enough to stay.
not even enough to try.
