I stood beside you through the doubt
Believed in every word you said
I gave you truth, I gave you time
While you kept one foot out instead
I held the line when it got hard
You looked away when it was real
I was the calm you leaned upon
Never the fire you chose to feel
I see it now
With open eyes
I was your comfort
Not your life
You had your chance
And you made it clear
I wasn’t the one you wanted near
I gave my heart
You gave me distance
I wasn’t chosen
I was just convenient
I ignored the cracks beneath my feet
Called your silence understanding
Every excuse you wrapped in fear
Left my faith slowly unraveling
I fought for something honest and true
You waited for something better to come
I was the place you hid your doubt
Never the place you’d call home
I won’t pretend
I won’t deny
You took my love
And passed it by
You had your chance
And you made it clear
I wasn’t the one you wanted near
I gave my strength
You kept your distance
I wasn’t loved
I was just convenient
I won’t carry your indecision
I won’t bleed for your escape
You don’t get to hold my heart
While you search for something else
I release what was never mine
I reclaim the parts you left behind
You had your chance
You let it go
I see the truth
I’ve come to know
I stood my ground
I found my reason
I wasn’t weak—
I was just convenient
I walk away with open hands
No regret, no bitterness
You lost someone who would’ve stayed
I found myself—and that’s enough
