before he'd left
i could find things
because i knew
i wanted it to be different for me
you talked too much
or not enough
you let yourself go
or your makeup looked too harsh
how did people ever learn to be enough
i had become so conscious
of all the things that might drive him away
it felt unforgivable
"Fun is overrated.
You just always want to make sure
Everyone's happy.
In fact,
If anything,
You should be prettier.
Like in life."
I didn't want to be prettier.
I wished I knew all the right things to say.
Or maybe my wish was bigger than that.
I wanted to always be enough.
