And the memories came rushing
and lead me back to that unforgettable day i told myself that i was going to stop loving him because
he would never love me back anyway
i promised myself
to stop looking at him, even when every beautiful corner of his lips curved into that pretentious smirk
and so i told myself to stop getting goosebumps around every little inch of my body, even the most secret places
from his melodic laughter
and it was the toughest thing i've ever done
but being the hopeless romantic i am i
thought that love was just something to forget
and it wasn't before i saw you
years later with that other girl
i understood every love song i've ever heard about broken hearts
and every poem i've read about unrequieted love
and i realised that
i never really stopped loving you
