They all said it
Each one of them looked at me with a gentle smile and doused the words on to me
"I love you"
I wish I had a mirror to see my face as I smiled back
As my innocence took over me and believed
That so many souls could love one like me
Could they care for a lifetime?
Would they carry along everything inside of me, even what they couldn't love?
I didn't ask, but I should have
Instead I watched each one leave and toss me bits of myself as they drifted
There were even some pieces of myself I never got back
As I watched them leave I wondered how their souls were strong enough to hurt mine
But what if those got lost too
What if they hurt me because they didn't find their missing pieces
What if they thought I had them
I didn't have them, and now I have nothing
