Sender Error

Your eyes begged me not to go, but your lips pretended to be less desperate. This is the difference between an expression of the soul and an expression of the mind. You didn't voice protest when I told you I had to go, but I saw what you thought you weren’t allowing me to hear. I saw the words engraved in your expression, forever in my memory. “Please, don’t leave." In that moment, it seemed like you finally understood the way I felt. I had spent years wishing for more from you. I did everything I could to give you the love I wish you had given me, and that still wasn’t enough. With you, I have never been sure of how you feel, or if you feel. I only know what you want from me. I know nothing of what you want for me. When I would normally feel the emptiness of your emotional unavailability, I decided it was time for me to be absent. So I left. I will never be right for the wrong recipient.
