Who you Were

You could be selfish,

but I thought you’d overcome

You lacked will power

But I thought you were fighting

You were losing

But I thought you were working

Burnt out

But I thought you were resting

You were lost

But I thought you were searching

Hurt

But I thought you were healing

You were angry

But I thought you were forgiving

Acting stupid

But I thought you were learning

I never thought

Not one time

That all the things I saw of you

Were all you were

But now I know

That’s just who you were

I was waiting for you to transition

I was wrong

And I was waiting to be right
