Yourself
You didn't lose them
because you weren't enough.
You lost them because
they couldn't handle
your standards, your boundaries,
or your growth.
You outgrew conversations
that only knew how to stay shallow.
You outgrew people
who only came around
when it was convenient for them.
You gave too many chances
to people with a history
of hurting you.
You saw the good in them,
while they focused on
your flaws.
The hardest part?
Realizing the people you would've
crossed oceans for,
wouldn't even step over a puddle
for you.
It hurts, but maybe this is
the universe protecting you
from a future you didn't deserve.
One day, you'll thank yourself
for letting go.
