SORRY

I'm sorry I can't be all he was

I'm not brave

No matter what

I'm not selfless

Under all the cockiness

I'm not confident

And vulnerable

At the same time

I'm not the one who accepted you unconditionally

Instantly

I'm not the one who risked everything for you

Month after month after month

I'm not the one you forgave

After he betrayed you

I'm not the one who held you

When you were scared and scarred and young

I'm not the one who held your hand under desks

Risking being called a girl by James

I'm not the one who spent quiet mornings in the hospital wing

When you weren't even conscious

I'm not the one who loved you

First

I'm not your mate

I'm not him

And I'm sorry

The feelings aren't made up, but the scenario is, thank the Gods. Yet another example of me living vicariously through fanfics.
