A Time Before You Loved Me

"I have never felt wanted."

By Julie HoranPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I have never felt wanted.

Don't think that I have spent my life alone, because that is not true. I have filled my lungs with the air of the most beautiful people and yet I have never once felt wanted.

You, on the other hand, made me feel something much different. You gave me hope, made me want more than I've ever wanted someone else before.

I could never get enough of your voice, not because I liked the words you were saying, but because you were speaking them to me. But what is the point in finding your happy place if you're not allowed to live there?

I didn't fall for you, I jumped head first into arms that weren't prepared to catch me, and drove myself crazy trying to hate you for breaking a promise you never even made.

Still, you are the most I've ever had to lose.

Please don't leave me.
