I don’t know why I don’t love you like I used to.

Time has passed and I feel less and less strongly.

And you say you haven’t changed

But maybe that’s the problem.

I feel like I’ve changed,

I’m not exactly sure who I am right now,

Not that I’ve ever felt very sure.

I feel like I don’t know anything.

This no longer feels exciting.

I no longer feel like you’re helping me grow,

I no longer feel like you’re part of what helps me

Be me.

I feel like I’m shedding this skin,

And you’re still wearing the one you were nine months ago.

It feels rough to my new skin,

Makes me itch,

Makes me restless.


I don’t know why I don’t love you like I used to.

Maybe I’m not the same me I used to be.


I’m looking ahead,

And you’re still looking at me.
