A/N: Set during Between the Good when Katie and Ned were on the outs in their relationship during her sophomore year away :( Sad times I know. Boo me but I hope you can enjoy it anyway lol xx Mariah
Betrayal and shattered hearts,
empty bottles and broken dreams.
Shouldn't I have known all of this by now?
Everyone warned me and yet I loved you anyway. None of this is news.
How could I ever think you'd change?
A constant test of my patience that all fades away when I hold your attention.
You've got my devotion but man I can hate you sometimes.
Red flags and whiskey,
those green eyes, and that damned perfect smile.
But look at us... what even are we now?
I can only wish you loved me once, maybe even as much as I still love you.
A part of me always has and likely always will. Do you deserve it? That's up to you.
Will we ever be the same? Is there anything left to fix?
All of my hopes and dreams for us have fallen flat, but God, please come back to me.
I could forgive you for eternity if you'd just pick up the phone when I call.
Or was this the plan all along? To make me fall in love? To string me along with some swan song?
Your mother always knew that we were doomed and that you could never love a girl like me. Part of me even knew that too deep down.
Nothing ever lasts. Not for me. Never me.
Was it all a fine line of events that we were destined to follow? Was it truly all for nothing? Will I ever know?
