For the Best

by trevorpantera3112

I asked you for regular alone time after our time

My anxiety needed it to properly relax after work

 

I didn’t have the foresight to factor in how that meant 

We’d have less nights to lose track of time together

 

I was thinking about what I needed to feel rested

I wasn’t worried about you no longer making room for my loner self

About each of us winding down the night alone

Birthing a little emptiness in you, slowly spreading

 

I mistook you not mentioning it for contentment

You may have wanted me to seek you out more on my own

 

I’m sorry we weren’t more careful about solitude and socializing 

Our opposing energy sources

 

How I’d ask you more if I could make you happier 

If I had the chance

 

Which would have probably led us to break up sooner

Knowing I can’t rewire myself to share you and be happy

It would have been for the best
