Break
It’s hard,
taking a break from a relationship.
You know it’s good for the both of you,
the other knows deep down it’s good,
but neither of you want it.
You don’t want to leave the other,
and neither of you want the other to leave.
You try, and it fails.
You know it’s good, but you don’t want to leave them.
They beg you, “Please don’t leave me” and you get stuck.
You need the break,
it’s good for both of you,
but you can’t hurt them,
because that’s not what you want.
