In a time of loss, you were my gain. As my life was falling apart, before my eyes, you showed me comfort, easing the painful sores growing on my soul. Who knew that the person I've ever felt such passionate love for, would be the one that tore me from myself within.
It was like off and on was our middle name. No matter the story that broke us before, the second you called my name I was there, beside you. "No good" is all I heard others say about you. "My love" is all they heard me say.
Once people started to catch on how I truly felt about you, they'd use you as my weakness, say your name just to see the broken look in my eyes. my friends couldn't even say your name, because any time I was reminded of your beauty, id begin to weep. Everybody knew I'd give my life for you, except you.
As the years went on, we became more distant, but my love never left, I still did anything to be close to you. It even got to the point where I began to play your game. "I love you, I love you not."
