SELFISH
August 31, 2014
I wish I could stop the wheels on this train called life.
Reset the tracks and begin again in stride.
I said I would never wish again, but I’ve been in love countless of times.
All for my selfishness. But let be selfish for her. Go back in time even before I was born
And give her the life that she had so adorned. Give her what was taken.
If you can’t heal what is breaking.
But I can’t.
I love you but I just can’t.
I can’t change who I want to be for another person.
And neither should you.

I might take awhile, because I'm trying to gte into 11th grade next year, so I'm really busy, haha. But I'm not going to break the promise I made with you. Breaking promises that I made; it feels I'm breaking something in me. I made a promise to you, because I thought I could keep it, and I'm going to. I will. : ) You're welcome, though I should be thanking you. Thank you!
