If I died today, would you be sad? Would you constantly beat yourself up about the opportunities you wasted because you were ‘busy’. No I just wasn’t top on your priority list. Maybe you were broken or maybe life broke you. Honestly I hope it did, I hope it broke you in the many ways you broke me. I hope you realised that time is delicate. How easy it is to let time slip out from underneath you. You didn’t care about me, you just used me for my advantages yet, all you cared about was your priorities. When the whole time your priority was her. So if i did die today, I guess it wouldn’t really matter, would it?
