Love is not enough to make it work
And it's okay
It's not your fault that it failed.
You need the patience that you easily lost
When you promised you'd wait until they got comfortable
When putting them first seemed like a job when you got delayed
When they were taking too long to get prepared so you left them
It wasn't enough but it's okay.
You need the trust they tainted
When they told you they were never going to haste
When they took an oath to only look at you
When you caught new lips on their neck
It wasn't enough but it's okay.
You need the communication you were deprived of
When you begged for the bare minimum updates
When they let you blame yourself by not saying anything
When they didn't listen while you cried your heart out
It wasn't enough but it's okay.
You need the care you selflessly give
When you were sick but you're the one who still took care of them
When they went home drunk while you were studying for your finals
When you were the one in the depths and they only took a peek
It wasn't enough but it's okay.
You need the contentment that both of you couldn't reach
You weren't enough and they weren't as well
What you could offer to each other lacked
All of it wasn't enough... and it's okay
Because it wasn't your fault that it failed.
