white flag

i've written this before.

in my mind it always sounds so clever, but alas, it's not articulate.

i need to say some of these things though, even if you'll never read them, 

and if you do, be it over someone's shoulder.

your disengagement is unwarranted and honestly unattractive 

because we are not worth comparing.

the feelings i've had 

the sadness i've created

is on me, but does not need you.

you rank high in numbers that i've never seen

but have expected to comfortably fit.

these moments are short

but your love will last long

so don't waste time on girls like me.

and though it's hard to admit

defeat comes with a price

and this is my grief i don't have to share.

yet what i want to say 

could be summoned into 

four words i know you'll like:

my dear, i surrender.
