A mistake
A Mistake
Was talking to you a mistake?
I thought I was just being brave,
but now I wonder if I should’ve stayed quiet,
kept my distance, and let the silence save me.
You said things I’ll never forget,
but maybe I was better off not knowing.
Maybe the truth wasn’t worth the pain,
and the connection wasn’t worth the strain.
You’re a beautiful mess I can’t untangle,
a story I keep rereading, even when it hurts.
Maybe I should’ve never opened that door,
but now it's too late, and I can't close it anymore.
A mistake?
But even mistakes shape us,
and in this one, I learned—
Some things can’t be undone,
even when they leave you undone.
