Alt Title: A Wasted 3 Months

I wish I could make you leave as fast as you arrived.
But if I could do that I would not be me.

5 days in and I knew you meant something.
10 days in and you were all that I wanted.
A month and a half in I asked on a whim.
A month and a half out I realized you no longer care.
10 days out and I'm grieving not for a cat.
5 days out and I wish we had never met.

But if I could do that I would not be me.
I wish I could make you love me as I loved you.
