"I was never enough for youuntil you were left with nothing,no one to give you love. Am Isupposed..."

“I was never enough for you

until you were left with nothing,

no one to give you love. Am I

supposed to wait around for you

to realize that this is really what

you want, that I am who you want.

I have things I need to do too,

you know. The clock is not

only ticking for you and time

is not waiting for only you to

get it together. You only seemed

to ever want me when my heart

started putting the pieces together,

started noticing that there is

only one person who wants this

at all times, through everything.

So don’t be surprised when you

come back home to a half-empty

house that is filled with only

your belongings, your memories.

Because I have things to do

too and I’m not going to waste

my moments waiting on you

to see that I have always

been more than enough.”

- Colleen Brown, “I am not your 24-hour convenient store” (via poetrist)
