My Favorite Belt
You were someone I wanted to be with and no one else. I wanted to be with you alone.
I wore my favorite belt and my trouble with the belt ended once it was gone with the garbage. I regret ever having thrown away my favorite belt for you and your issue. It was my favorite belt and nothing more.
I wanted to make new memories with you. There was no dwelling on the past except that which you had.
A box of mementos make for a record of memory that might one day be looked back at with smiles and shared without discourse. I don’t think you meant anything by it or really even knew what you did to me. All you knew is that box had to go. It was your issue, not mine. I let you make it my issue. I regret throwing that box away because in doing so I lost more than a box of notes and photos; I lost a little bit of something that we were supposed to put into our own box.
I never meant to go south with my soul searching and let a thing drag me down.
For every lie told in the failed attempt to gain approval I found myself accused of five that were never so. They were never so yet they were so much the truth of where we stood and what we became. I regret ever having told a lie to keep from hurting or offending you. More-so I regret ever having allowed myself to feel that I needed the type of distrusting and accusing acceptance offered. That was where I went astray. In the end it was not my fear that became a reality. I never spoke a word of anything that became what is now a self-fulfilled prophecy except that I was given my praise.
