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.
