Two and a half years
that's how long I've loved you
Relentlessly
Till my heart has drummed in my ears
and I felt like I haven't had nourishment in months.

I've loved you without receiving your love in return
and it's almost killed me.

There've been times you were kind
kept me loving you
In between periods of disinterest
and harsh words.

I've watched you kiss other girls.
I've watched myself loose sleep, for months.

I've forgotten who I am, what I want.
And overlooked people who wanted to love me.

For two and a half years.
I've waited, to hear you say you feel the similar.
To hear you say that you were a fool.

I have loved you without you wanting me to love you.
And finally you ended it.
You said the words at last, 'move on.'

And I don't want to, and I feel so numb.
But I feel, almost free.
