do i have to explain?

lovelydarkanddeep

it's hard to explain. 

i've been used so much, i've learned not to trust

but this time, with you, it's different

you were my first heartbreak 

and my first best mistake 

at first, i did everything i could to hate you

it started to work

then it didn't. 

i didn't try to love you the way i did. 

and i will be honest and say i don't believe in love, at least not at my age

how could something so great, hurt so much

and how could something so large, affect you so little 

after everything you've done to me

if there is a "love", then i still love you 

i "love" you with all my soul

everyone asks me "how could you like someone like that?"

i didn't try to

"i never asked for this, or planned it in advance, i was nearly blown here by the winds of chance"

~~~~

i fell for you, and i fell hard 

and what did you do? 

even when you that i was hurt,

you made my life hell 

you told everyone 

you told lies

i didn't deserve it. 

and i don't deserve you

    It's human nature to remember incomplete things more prominently than completed things.
    Perhaps you just need to be acknowledged.
    Sadly that is often withheld when relationships break down.
    You have to force the closure yourself. Realise that you are responsible for your own happiness and self regard and not allow anyone else to usurp that power.
