With All Of My Heart

With all of my heart, I just wanted it to be you.

I didn’t look elsewhere, I didn’t want to because I thought I knew it would always be you.

Now I am reading through old messages and wondering why this even happened in the first place.

I realise now, I was going through two breakups.

One at the beginning of the year and one in the middle of the year.

How do you say goodbye to someone you have loved, completely, wholly for 4 years?

It was supposed to be you.

I knew what my life was going to be

I knew what songs we would sing

I even knew the hashtag for our wedding

And then I fucked it up

And now I’m sitting on my bed thinking ‘say something I’m giving up on you’

And anywhere I would have followed you

Without question, I would have

But I guess we weren’t meant to be.

I could not give you what you needed and you could not give me what I wanted

Does anyone actually heal?

Or do we let scars scab over and try again?

What is the point, baby?

What is the point?

It’s weird, I understand I am lucky.

Lucky to be surrounded by such light and love

But my heart, she breaks for you.

Because she loved you and she wants you to be happy

Now what?
