All too well

"I hope that you get everything that you've ever wanted in life and I hope that I never hear a thing about it."

But at the same time I want you to remember me ,I want you to remember what effort looked like ,what genuine interest felt like.

How it feels when someone wants you entirely and all at once so that you would never settle for anything less of what I was.

and that I would be the comparison and the standard.

That I would be remembered by you because in a twisted way It brings me comfort.

Comfort in knowing that you didn't forget me and that I wasn't as easy to forget as you made me seem.

That I still linger in your mind, reminding you that I'm still here and that I'm the one that got away.
