Falling out of love with you
it was a slow process
I wasn't prepared for the feelings
I still had wrapped up in this poem
Receipt still unclear
Just like I wanted

Avoiding certain songs
Memories of how it used to be between us
danced around in my head
I think of our love as a golden heart shaped necklace
that has been preserved
Stashed away to never be open again
the sadness that I felt when I wrote this poem
was truly one where I didn't like facing the truth
but I accepted it eventually
no longer living in denial
I still can't believe how everything unfolded
The anger & sadness
Embracing both at one point
instead of pushing my feelings away
It felt therapeutic to finally not push my feelings
away
The love we had was rare
But the pain I'll always keep in mind
as a reminder to myself
In order to stay strong
For when you finally realize what you lost
