Today
Today, you realized that you were tired.
Tired of waiting for the boy who,
Who didn’t want the same things as you,
And who -right now - can’t love you like you love him
Today, you realized there was no balance.
That there was more give than take.
The way you look at him
Is not the same intensity that he looks at you
Today, you realized that the realization
Of you realizing this
Made your heart ache in a way
That it never has before this instance of time
Today, you realized you were worth more.
Today, you realized that
You will never be older, or younger
Than you are this very moment, ever again.
Today, you realized it hurts more than words can describe
Today, you realized that life goes on
Today, you realized that you will live through this
Today, you realized you deserve better.
