I never told you...

I never told you,

I am sorry for not being understanding when you were in dilemmas.

I never told you,

I am sorry for only contemplating my own-self whenever you needed just a pat from me.

Some say one must keep some part of selfness in a relationship,

But all I had in our relationship was only selfness.

I never told you,

I am sorry for resisting your explanations.

People always think love is about sharing.

But, I rejected to share any parts of you even with yourself.

Eventually, we both hurt.

I never told you,

I am sorry for tethering you so tightly that you stifled.

They say the only thing you pay to learn in a relationship is heartache.

My heart was once crippled and rippled.

No pain no gain, I gained more than I lost.

No, I never told you,

Thank you for bringing in heartbreak,

It was an invaluable lesson.
