The Love is Gone

Christina K

I’m sorry. 

I don’t love you anymore.

And to be honest, I’m not sure I ever did.

To me, you were a constant.

Always there, every day, for me to count on.

To me, you were a crutch.

To support me, every day. For me to count on.

To me, you were a catch.

You were perfect and that’s one thing I could count on.

And you meant something, too.

You meant a lot, really.

And at times, I really thought I loved you.

But you knew it wasn’t love.

And even now, as you read this, you know.

You remember the times we spent laughing?

The times we embraced each other.

Maybe that was love.

It doesn’t really matter though.

It’s gone anyway.

    MISSED YOU CHRISTINA ~ WELCOME BACK ! I love the honesty i his Programme as you survey your relationship with your (ex?) Partner ! You renounce you LOVE and then are not sure if it really was LOVE ! A constant ~ a crutch ~ a catch ~ perfection ~ WOW ~ I have been all those things to ex-Partners BUT (as you say without LOVE ~ they count for nothing ! Meant a lot ~ laughing ~ embracing ~ perhaps LOVE ?
    HOWEVER whenever a Lady says to "BRIAN ~ The LOVE is gone !" I know it's time to move on ! Currently I have a loving FIANCEE and we hope to be married when she returns from New Zealand ! Please check my Poems ~ Thanks BRIAN (UK)
