An Honest Mistake

I'm walking away 

— not because I didn’t love you, 

 or because I didn’t love you enough to stay.

I’m walking away for me 

— because it didn’t feel right. 

Because I didn’t feel like 

someone you truly wanted. 

Perhaps you just felt 

obliged to say I love you too. 

Because, like you said, 

this all began with a misunderstanding 

— a moment I thought meant 

something more than it ever did for you. 

Oh well… 

then it was an honest mistake, 

wasn’t it? 

Just an honest mistake. 

But not one I regret. 

 Because even in the ache, 

 I still chose to love 

— fully, fiercely, without condition. 

And now, I choose to let go 

with the same grace I held 

when I said yes.
