Confessions of a Loner.

Confessions of a loner. 

I have confessions to make 
Of how I have disappointed you,
Yes, you.

The cheeky guy I sat next to in school,
The one who asked too many questions,
I told you I'd be dependable
I wasn't.

The talkative girl I met in college,
The one with the swollen cheeks,
I told you everyone was my best friend,
I lied.

The shy studious boy,
The one who was fearless,
I told you I'd do everything I could to help you out,
I couldn't.

The traveler I met in a dorm,
The one who opened up to me about her heartbreaks,
I told you I'd listen to you always,
I didn't.

The friendly girl I met on tinder,
The one who read a lot,
I told you we'd meet someday,
we didn't.

The quiet girl who picked me up,
when I was at my all time low,
I told you'd I be there every time you call,
I wasn't.

The girl who made me write poems,
The one who believed I could do no wrong,
I told you I would always be that way,
I couldn't.

But I tried.
