why i can't let go

[eyeslikesky]

We
carelessly allow someone,
grant them permission to
make us feel so
pitiful

We have invested our time in them,
stayed with them
for the months,
the years,
the hours,
the minutes and
the seconds

We've soaked
and bathed in all
of them
of what they are
of who they are,
their mannerisms and
features unnoticed
