All of the blame
I didn't need you to love me.
I didn't need you to love me in order for me to love myself.
I just believed you when you said that you did.
And then you left me.
I was "ghosted" as the young folks now would say.
I believed you loved me. And then you left me.
And I blamed myself. Maybe it was my fault, I constantly thought to myself. I took all of the blame.
