My chemical romance pt 2: I remember You
<p>I remember being so angry that you never loved me the way I wanted</p><p>So hurt that you never wanted me the way I felt</p><p>So convinced you didn’t desire me the way I thought I needed.</p><p><br/></p><p>And yet… you were always there when I needed you.</p><p><br/></p><p>We went back and forth over our feelings</p><p>Fought over our invisible ceilings</p><p>Two people almost in sync, almost the same, yet always just out of alignment</p><p><br/></p><p>I was young, reckless, barely held together by bad habits and forced nonchalance</p><p>You were young, scared, carrying so much quietly, barely held together by routines and vigilance I barely noticed.</p><p><br/></p><p>I wanted things my way, everything I wanted, whenever I wanted it even if it hurt you.</p><p>And still… you stayed.</p><p>Sometimes it feels like I was the one thing you couldn’t quit, even when it should have been easy.</p><p><br/></p><p>I remember the nights we didn’t know what to do with ourselves</p><p>When everything sucked and you came to me just to vent.</p><p>I liked making you happy</p><p>You had that little dance when joy finally got to you, the one I pretended not to notice but could never stop seeing.</p><p><br/></p><p>I remember the moments you cracked</p><p>When everything piled up and you leaned on me, every ounce of weight you’d been holding in the world.</p><p>It made me feel needed.</p><p>Important.</p><p>Alive.</p><p><br/></p><p>I hated that you never chose me without hesitation.</p><p>But now, seeing it clearly…</p><p>You were scared. Careful. Holding so much in ways I couldn’t see</p><p>And I wasn't exactly the definition of safe.</p><p><br/></p><p>And still… you stayed</p><p>The small gestures I thought didn’t matter</p><p>The leaning on me</p><p>The soft ways you let me in when I didn’t even know how to ask.</p><p><br/></p><p>I didn’t see it then</p><p>But it’s all there</p><p>And it surprises me</p><p>How much of you was quietly giving, always.</p><p>And I didn’t notice.</p><p><br/></p><p>I don’t need everything to go my way anymore.</p><p>I don’t need certainty.</p><p>I just… like that you’re here.</p><p>That somehow, despite everything, you’re still here.</p>
