Oh, how funny it is to be in love
Intense emotions of belonging, falling
Smiles and tears, make or break
I was in love once.
Piercing green eyes, like the dark forest
where he used to ride
Then there’s me, of course
Sitting on the sidelines, watching him break up the dirt
beneath him with the tough rubber wheels
I was in love once.
We sat, hand in hand on ‘our’ bench
E + C engraved, isn’t that cringey
Talking about the future,
married, travelling the world together.
I was in love once.
When everything was perfect, he didn’t see the same
Didn’t feel the same.
He questioned. He judged.
I was left behind, staring at a blank wall while he
was on the other side making it higher.
I don’t love you anymore was written on the knife
that plunged into my heart
But I was still in ******* love once.
As days go by, tears dry
Feelings fade, love falls away
Memories turn to a haze, but when I see his face,
it all floods back, to haunt me again
