i wake up thinking about you

9:50 PM

We never went hot tubbing at that hotel

Or dancing like you promised

That night we were sitting at my kitchen table
i said i didn’t want a relationship because i didn’t want to be hurt

You promised not to hurt me

And now it’s February

and I’m hurt

But it’s not because you’re a bad person

You didn’t do anything wrong

Not all promises can be kept

And not all love was meant to be

like we had hoped

I get it

Sometimes it snows in June

And sometimes the prettiest flowers grow thorns

And sometimes what we want isn’t what we’re supposed to have

And that’s okay

I no longer trust people who say i promise

Or tell me they love me

Because who knows what’ll happen on a Friday afternoon at 3:47pm

They could change their mind

Or worse

They could’ve been lying the entire time

there’s nothing more confusing

and painful to a woman

than being told that she’s amazing

by a man who treats her like

she’s not good enough to commit to
