It Was Right, Not Just Our Time
<p>It Was Right, Just Not Our Time</p><p> </p><p>You liked me first.</p><p> </p><p>I remember how you tried to become my friend before asking me out. And somehow, somewhere between the conversations and the little things you did, I started liking you too.</p><p> </p><p>Or maybe I was just hoping I would.</p><p> </p><p>You were calm, mature, and you always found a way to remind me that you liked me. You even told your parents about me. Sometimes I still think about that and smile.</p><p> </p><p>But the truth is, you loved me more than I knew how to love you back.</p><p> </p><p>I kept waiting for my feelings to grow into something deeper. I kept hoping one day I would look at you and feel exactly what you felt for me.</p><p> </p><p>But instead, I got tired.</p><p> </p><p>Not necessarily of you, but of trying to feel something I couldn't force.</p><p> </p><p>And sometimes I wondered if you deserved someone who could love you without hesitation.</p><p> </p><p>You tried. I know you did. But there were also moments when I didn't feel treated the way I really wanted to be treated. Maybe you were trying in the ways you knew how, but sometimes what someone gives you still isn't what your heart needs.</p><p> </p><p>You were in your final year, and I was just starting mine. Maybe that was part of it too.</p><p> </p><p>Because it felt right in some ways, but the timing wasn't.</p><p> </p><p>My dad didn't want me dating, and I wanted to keep his trust. But if I'm being completely honest, that wasn't the only reason I left.</p><p> </p><p>I left because I knew I couldn't keep accepting a love I wasn't sure I could return.</p><p> </p><p>So I walked away from someone who cared about me, even though walking away hurt.</p><p> </p><p>And honestly, some days I miss you.</p><p> </p><p>Sometimes I want to message you and ask how you've been, but I don't.</p><p> </p><p>Sometimes I imagine what it would be like if you were still part of my life.</p><p> </p><p>I don't know if you still think about me. I don't know if you're angry with me. I just hope, wherever life has taken you, you don't remember me with hurt.</p><p> </p><p>Maybe we were meant to meet.</p><p> </p><p>Maybe we were meant to share those memories.</p><p> </p><p>Maybe we were even meant to love each other for a little while.</p><p> </p><p>But maybe we weren't meant to stay.</p><p> </p><p>You were right,</p><p> I was right,</p><p>The timing just wasn't.</p>
