I Didn't Deserve Her

I messed up. Big time. I had this girl, Sarah, who loved me more than I probably deserved. She was… good. Like, genuinely good. Always helping people, volunteering, just a kind soul. And me? I was just… there. Taking it all.

I was so insecure back then. Always worried about what other people thought, trying to be cool. And she just… accepted me. Even the parts I didn't like about myself. I started pulling away because I didn't think I was good enough for her. Stupid, right? I ended things because I thought I was saving her from me. I told her I needed to "find myself". What a load of bull.

I see her now, years later. She's married, has kids, looks happy. And I'm… well, I'm still trying to "find myself", only now I realize I lost something way more valuable. I hope she knows I regret it. I really, really do.
