They All Left

Something in me thought this time would be different

For once, I wanted to let my guard down

Then you asked me to come see you But it was already

late that night So I said,

"Maybe tomorrow instead" And you said okay We talked again the next

morning

And somehow, I started believing

I told myself maybe I'd regret it if I didn't go

So I took a chance and went to see you

I didn't know what would happen next I just wanted to see

where this could go

I was scared, but I was

hopeful

A little excited,

a little curious

Part of me thought you might be different

Part of me thought this could be something

real

They all left

And somehow, I'm not even angry I think a part of me

has already accepted it

No matter how hard I try to keep things going

To keep trying to make it work

They will still leave

They all left

The next morning,

I waited for your message

But you didn't even say good morning So I reached out and

you left me unread for hours If it was in the past,

I would've been angry I would've been frustrated,

wondering what went wrong But I wasn't even angry or upset Maybe

I'd just stopped expecting too much

I blocked you, but a part of me still hoped you'd reach

out I even wondered if you'd be angry with me Maybe you'd

find another way to contact me And the saddest part is

I still care about them After everything they put me through I

don't even hate them Maybe that's just life

Giving me lessons I didn't ask for But how many more do

I have to learn Before someone finally stays?

Maybe I've been looking for answers

In all the people who left Maybe I just need to accept

myself And stop wondering what's wrong with me I

don't know if someone will stay

But I still want to believe they will Maybe one day I'll

find someone Who doesn't leave

Maybe someone will stay
