I can’t help but remember it
The last fight, our last moment
Could’ve never imagined it
The day was so hopeful
I wanted to go to the movies
Life had other plans
I can’t remember anything before that
I don’t even remember what the question was
But I do remember your response to it
“is that what you really think?,”
Showing my foolish youth,
Trying to front
I smiled and said “Yeah, why not?”
So tough of me, that’s what I remember thinking the most
It was late in afternoon when I got to your room
And it was really dark outside when I left
I learned then, there are times when some things should never be said
Not out of fear
But you never want to hurt someone you love
Or cut them deeper than their soul can take
I thought in my immaturity that I can fix this
Let you vent, give you space and all would be fine
I would text you tomorrow and see if it was safe
Then you texted me first
I was so cocky to think we were good
Then the ground shattering message
You left my stuff outside your door
Please come get them or they’re being thrown out
That’s when it hit me
I couldn’t fix this and I cried
Nothing I could do this time
I destroyed the spirit of this relationship
Had forced you to change
I would only see you a few times in passing
Then never again
That hurt never left
Proof I was a foolish youth at one time
And all these years since
Still sorry for that pain
I will be sorry till my last days
