The question was on the tip of my tongue,



 

But I couldn’t get it out.

 

Every now & then...

 

I wish I had it in me to walk up to you at graduation

& say I have liked you too

for what seems like my entire life.

 



 

The summer when I was 18.

 

I had burst out crying alone in my room one morning

 

& realized that no one truly knew how unhappy I was,

 

Nor did I want anyone to know.

 

I could hear a boy silently crying on the television,

 

Which had been on since that morning.

 



 

“SNIFF, SNIFF” from my room... “SNIFF, SNIFF” from the TV...

 



 

My room, TV, my room, TV, it was an impressive duet.

 



 

Listening to all that sobbing,

 

The ceiling started turning bleary.

 

My mind wandered.

 



 

I wanted an escape,

 

Perhaps one of those tropical paradise island getaways

 

I’ve heard so much about.

 



 

...

 



 

I guess it’s true that you’re finally going,

 

off to bigger and better things.

 

& here I am singing to myself,

 

“someone like you.”- Adele

 



 

But I've realized that it's better to

 

be unhappy alone

 

than unhappy with someone.

 



 

& I don't want love

 

just because I had foolishing believed

 

that it would miraculously

 

solve all my life's problems for me.

 

How silly of me to ask for love

 

only because I had felt lonely.

 

I want love when I'm ready.

 



 

I'm thinking clearly now so no more crying,

 

I will be happy everyday because

 

I don't have any reason not to be.

 



 

I'm going to continue to explore & love myself.

 

There is nothing stopping me from laughing,

 

from loving, from living-

 

& now I know sometimes good things fall apart

 

so better things can fall together.

 



 

I love you & I guess I'll never stop loving you,

 

I wish you nothing but the best,

 

& yes,

 

with no regrets,

 

this is good bye. -
