We Had

We have the same goals, same dreams.

We had.

I wanted a marriage, you wanted a promise. I wanted a home, you wanted a family. I wanted you and you wanted me.

We had it all.

Then it became me needing assurance, you seeing it as disturbance. You needing time, me seeing it as avoidance.

It is then I realize that we check off all the boxes of what love shouldn’t be. I ate the poison I invented. I burnt myself from the fire I started. I got caught on the curse I carefully planted. I am in the mess I accidentally created.

And that is when we pleaded goodbye to forever, our happily never after.
