Your love was like the Barnum Effect
and though I thought you fit me
like a glove,
I learned you'd been worn
by thousands of other lovers
who'd thought the same exact thing.

Barnum Effect: The tendency to accept certain information as true, such as horoscopes or descriptions of a person's personality that supposedly are tailored specifically for them, but are in fact vague and general enough to apply to a wide range of people.
