It Was You

13 days 23 hours and 58 minutes

Time I spent
Wondering
Thinking
Realizing
What I did

Nothing
It was you

13 days 23 hours and 58 minutes

I lived crying
Not eating 
Hoping you 
Would forgive me

But
It was you

13 days 23 hours and 58 minutes

Was how long 
I sat there in 
Pain
Why

Because 
it was you

13 days 23 hours and 58 minutes

Is how long
It took you
To forgive
Yourself

Why, because
It is you

13 days 23 hours and 58 minutes

was how long
it took you to say
sorry after the
fight.

13 days 23 hours and 58 minutes

Was the longest
Two weeks of
My life
Why 

Because of 
You.
