and you know you lost me when i started to become more quiet. you lost me when i stopped getting excited like before. when i stopped sharing my thoughts, stopped showing how happy i was because you didn't seem to care. you lost me when i stopped arguing, stopped explaining, and stopped asking for your time. staying silent became easier than saying the same things again and again. you lost me the moment i realized i was the only one trying, the only one keeping the talks going, the one reaching out first, the one giving while you kept taking. love shouldn't feel like that. so i went quiet, not because i stopped caring, but because i finally started caring about myself more. and that's when you truly lost me.
