love is hard
you put your everything into someone and hope they don't throw it back in your face
you make memories that are nearly impossible to forget and hope they don't give you a reason to want to forget them
you give them your heart and hope they don't rip it apart
you fall and hope they catch you before you hit the ground
but love is *worth it

How do you un-love someone?
How do you forget the way they walked, laughed and cried?
How do you turn off the ache in your heart at their memory?
How do you walk away, knowing that they never felt for you?

Do you repeat daily a ritual of pretence?
Do you cry at the beauty you've lost?
Do you call yourself a fool?
Do you look in the mirror and ask why?

Why did you not love me?
Why did I not get seen?
Why did you just want to be friends?
Why does it hurt? Still? Time is supposed to heal.
