this is about my ex

i remember when we first met 

(at a restaurant on accident)

how you asked me to that dance 

(doughnuts)

where we were when you told me you loved me 

(in the canyon)

but i never loved you 

and i'm sorry.

we were messy and loud and different

you were a whisper and you moved like a shadow

while i was a crowd and a car wreck

we held hands in the graveyard and i got more goosebumps then

than i did when i listened to spoken word poetry

you stayed up when i was afraid to go to sleep

and we'd talk about music and tomorrow

and you didn't care about the storms inside my chest

or the number of times i said the word 'maybe'

because you liked me anyways

we were both bright, colorful puzzles

but our pieces never fit together quite right

your leather bracelet wasn't big enough to patch up my heart

and i wasn't strong enough to carry you through the dark

and i'm sorry that's why we broke up 

you changed the name of that playlist

(from 'for delilah' to 'chill')

we agreed to still be friends

(you stopped texting me two days later)

i still think about you now and then

(sometimes i miss you)

but i never loved you

and i'm sorry.
