Loving you was the easy part.
Admitting it was hard.

Hot chocolate. Strawberry Cream. Bubble Tea
I was drowning in your ocean.
And you, the blind lifeguard
Your oblivion sprouted roses on the thorn tree.

I think that I don't know how to think
Feeling feels like an unexplained thought
I have an undying thirst, but all I do is drink
Drink and drink, as if expecting a drought

I turned loving you into my life
Felt that I was gone when you were
Thought love was only when I’d have you as my wife
You sheltered the storm, brought clarity to my blur

I got so addicted quick
My daily medication
How can someone make you feel homesick
You’re you.
Justification without explanation

Loved you in real life, and even in my best fantasy
I hate love, for destroying the idea of you as my forever
I wanted to experience the world with you.
Greece, Hawaii, even the Annecy.
Hi to bye. Love to hate. Now to never

All I thought about was you.
Couldn’t be bribed with anything new.
I lost myself when I lost you
Burnt toast. Spoiled milk. Bitter brew.
