Where we went wrong

And when everything was said and done and over and lost, we still hadn't said the words we should have. We fought and fought and misunderstood and mispoke. We loved each other and we broke each other. We didn't do the mending. That's where we went wrong. We exhausted ourselves in the wrong things, so we never had the time or energy to say the right words.
Don't leave people you love with bad words, with hateful stuff. Don't let them go to sleep crying. Your love has to be greator than your pride. It has to. Your love has to be forgiving. Kind. Graceful. Pure. Your love has to be selfless. Don't try to get the last word. Throw in the words that you know are going to hurt. Don't. Don't throw their mistakes, their pasts at them. Don't wound them with your words and watch them break. Don't do that to someone you claimed to love.
