It wasn’t toxic

toxic you called it.

Toxic love toxic friendship toxic knowledge

It wasn’t toxic till you planned it a week in advance

It wasn’t toxic till you told your friends before you told me

It wasn’t toxic till you couldn’t even sit next to me at work because of it

It wasn’t toxic till you couldn’t look me in the face and say you love me too

It wasn’t toxic till you couldnt hug me because you knew what you were about to do

It wasn’t toxic till you told me not to listen to anything you said whilst drunk

It wasn’t toxic

I swear it wasn’t toxic
