I know now

May 21, 2015
By Anonymous

I worried I was never good enough for you
I worried that you wouldn’t love me anymore
I worried that everything I did was wrong
I worried I couldn't say what I wanted to
I worried about what you thought of me
I worried when you got mad at me
I worried what would happen to us
I worried that we would fall apart
I worried what would happen if you left
I worried about you

I remembered you weren't perfect either
I remembered everything you said wasn’t nice
I remembered the good times
I remembered the bad times
I remembered when we fought
I remembered being scared that something would happen
I remembered everything being okay for awhile
I remembered when it went downhill
I remembered when you told me you loved me
I remembered everything

I hoped we would fix all our problems
I hoped to be perfect for you
I hoped you would notice I was trying
I hoped all the fighting would stop
I hoped for you to try too
I hoped you could see how much I cared for you
I hoped each day would get better
I hoped that everything was going to be okay
I hoped for the bad to turn into good
I hoped every time you said “I love you”, you meant it

I know now everything I worried about was pointless
I know now that everything I remembered was a sign
I know now that everything I hoped for was no good
I know now you only thought about yourself
I know now that you were as stubborn as a rock
I know now you couldn't make me happy
I know now the fighting wasn't worth it
I know now you weren't worth all the pain
I know now I'm happier without you
I know now that every time you said “I love you”, you didn’t mean it
