you hurt me intimate fractures deeper with each strike jealousy anger but maybe it was love you gave up i'm not sure what happened something happened something went wrong if i knew, then maybe we could fix it but i wouldn't want to maybe it was just too much for us but when your scent brings back those memories so vivid in my mind i think we could have handled anything i loved you truly, honestly, openly you crushed me deeply, angrily, truly but the love still lives he doesn't hold me like you did though it's been so long i can hardly recall your touch his love or touch will never be like yours but maybe that's what draws me to him maybe it's the hurt that you left that draws me to him it could just be the memories of you that i am clinging to but i am slowly forgetting them don't let me walk away because i might forget everything but maybe i want to forget you were not only my love, but my best friend a love once so strong now lost somewhere in the pages of our lives and we can't seem to let go of our pride long enought to find it but would i want to find it? he looks in my eyes seeing to the inside of me you always looked away he whispers,"You're beautiful." you said it only when i asked he knows when and how to hold me you always refrained he tells me he loves me but i can't say it back my love is yours and i'll never know why choices we are given but there's really no choice at all
Reason for writing:
this was my "love life" situation at the time i wrote it. the one i love was my ex-boyfriend that i had dated for a year. i had a new boyfriend but i was slowly realizing that i still was in love with my ex.
