i really did love him
wholeheartedly
and innocently
without strings or superficial things
i loved him without lust
built it up on trust
i really
loved him
and i always thought
the end of him
would be the end of me
cried myself to sleep
just at the thought
kept everything he bought
even after it ended
sobbed my pretty little heart out
on my bedroom floor
ripped out my own hair
barely ate for weeks
forgot entirely how to sleep
only saw him
in every version of me
i thought it would be the end of me
i thought it would kill me
i thought a life without him
was barely a life at all
i thought it would be
completely impossible to fall
for someone else
but now he’s gone
disappeared into the abyss
and i was sad
i was so sad
but now im okay with it
now there’s a new him
a new face
a new jawline to trace
new eyes
to see me with kindness
new hands
to guide me through blindness
a new voice
and a new laugh
and i don’t want to rush
my hearts been through so much
i need to slow down
but oh, he makes me feel seen
makes such an effort
to talk to me
i didn’t realise how starved i was
until i was given what i need
and i know now
this may not last
i know now
that what feels like forever
can become a simple moment in time
i know now
the end of this
won’t be the end of me
but i can’t deny
that it is nice
this feels nice
and i think i really could love him
i think he really could love me.

A great poem of how what we feel is love is or can be transient. It is possible to love more than one person and this shines through. A lovely write
