they told me to follow my heart
and the first time,
it lead me to you
that same heart got broken a few months later
that same heart that was given to you
just you
after that,
I was told to follow my head,
while my heart was still recovering
but now it has healed,
it took some time
but it’s now brand new
however, that pure innocent heart you once saw, now has barriers and walls
walls to keep it safe
walls to keep it away from pain
but those walls have failed to keep away the feelings
my heart still longs for something
i have yet to identify

I’d like to believe...
that my first love was genuine,
that it was in its purest form,

I’d like to believe...
that you loved me for who I was,
that you didn’t just want me because you wanted to experience love,

I’d like to believe...
that it could have ended it a better way,
that you could have had the guts to say it to my face,

I’d like to believe...
that you were a good person when I first met you,
that you didn’t just lie to my face and fool me with your words,

I’d like to believe...
that you really loved me once

You entered my world
And changed it completely
You’ve shown me a life I couldn’t imagine without you by my side
You told me things
Promised some things
I guess you couldn’t keep
And like that
I gave you everything
And I loved you with everything I had
But Now you’re gone
There’s a void
A space filled with memories of you
Memories of us
And how beautiful you made life seem
I once thought I could never live without you
Without having you by my side
But you see
I don’t have that choice anymore
I’m forced to go on without you
Without a reasonable explanation
Of why you left
Left me
Left this relationship
When you once said you’d fight for it
Fight for me
But what can we do
I guess people change
Everything changes
But one thing I know is that I still love you
I still love you with all my heart
But giving it to you now would be foolish
As I once gave it to you
With no barriers
No walls
Just me
And now it’s gone
Our love was genuine
My love for you was in its purest form
I loved you for you nothing else but you
I guess that wasn’t enough
I guess I wasn’t what you were looking for
And A piece of my heart will always be with you
But I’m too hurt right now to even look at you
Or even see you
Because now all I see when I look at you is the pain I feel in my heart
That you’ve left
And that’s going a lot of time to fix

you say you’re not a poet but
with a girl like that,
how could you speak
anything less than
the stars?
-a.c.b

Girls are quite simple you see,
Compliment me once a day
And thats worth a thousand gifts.
Hug me for no reason and I wouldn’t stop thinking about that the whole day
Call me yours,
Tell me you love me,
Now those mean the world to me
You see no one actually cares about all those fancy dates yes we do enjoy them but that’s not why we fall in love with you
It’s because of all the small things that we subconsciously want you to tell us everyday
Just as a reminder
Because we’ll never get tired of hearing those words from you
