That's when I realized
I wasn't in love with you
I was in love with the thought
of what we could be
The feeling of finally being appreciated
The way you complimented me
and treated me like a princess in the beginning
That's what I was in love with...
your words
In the end, those words became harsher
and we couldn't bear it any longer
So here I lay, writing this in thanks
for teaching me that
yes, words can be quite lovely
but after all
actions speak louder than
        *words
