Dealing with your destructive and toxic ways, I’ve lost myself. Trying to love you, I forgot how to love me. All because of the potential I seen in my rear view mirror. But now I’m just realizing that rear view mirror is small for a reason. Squinting my eyes to look at what’s suppose to be behind me. Instead of focusing on the window shield, you know, that bigger picture I need to stay straight ahead for my future. Turns out your not in it. Yes i love you; but it’s okay to love you from a distance. Letting go of what I thought could have once been something so special. But you turned me against the idea of loving you, when you never gave me the opportunity to love me to. You hogged all my energy and kept the focus on you by constantly bringing up your past issues and your problems, and it became so toxic that I actually focused on just you! Trying to help build you up, and meanwhile I was tearing myself down. But no more looking back. Reality has set, your not what I need anymore, and losing me will be your greatest regret!
