Chapters
It was crazy.
It was rushed. Completely caught her by surprise. How she took it. She was crushed. I could see the disappointment in her eyes. I feel so incomplete. But all the same, it's bittersweet, 'cause I'm glad she knows. I'm glad she knows how I felt, how I feel. I'm glad she knows. Though I suppose we'll never be what I want, what I wanted us to be. But I understand. Life doesn't always go the way you planned. Still, I'm grateful for the times we had, and I'm glad she knows.
I've been better, I've been worse, and I've been selfish, that's for sure. Love's a blessing and a curse that always leaves you wanting more. I thought I had moved on. Turns out I hadn't. Now she's gone instead. I'm glad she knows. I'm glad she knows how I felt.
How I feel.
I'm glad she knows, though I suppose we'll never be what I want. What I wanted us to be. But I understand life doesn't always go the way you planned. I'm grateful for the times we had, and I'm glad she knows.
Next time you see her, could you tell her I hope that she's okay?
And tell her I'm sorry for the way I behaved.
And tell her if she wants to talk, I'll be there, just say when.
And tell her she taught me I could fall.
And tell her that I would do it all again.
And tell her—
I'm glad she knows.
I'm glad she knows. I'm glad she knows how I feel about her.
I'm glad she knows.
I'm glad she knows. Though I suppose we'll never be what I dreamed, what I dreamed that we could be. But I understand, life doesn't always go the way you planned. Still, I'm grateful for the times we had. And I'm glad she knows.
