POEM| You Were Never Mine

POEM| You Were Never Mine

maybe I took you for granted
maybe I didn’t understand you
maybe I didn’t care enough
maybe I didn’t put you first
maybe I didn’t know I hurt you in the process

maybe I took your love for granted
maybe I didn’t appreciate our friendship
maybe I didn’t think of us like you thought of us
maybe I didn’t do for you as much as you did for me
maybe I didn’t do all this because you were never mine to love

About Me

I’m Mariam — writer, explorer, observer of life’s quiet and loud moments. I started this blog in March 2017 as a self-discovery space, and over the past eight years, it has grown into a home for everything that moves me and hopefully, something that moves you too. Here, you will find poetry, reflections, travel stories, lifestyle pieces, motivation, inspiration and Lagos restaurant reviews all written with honesty and heart. Enjoy!
