"Selfish Love"

I thought that

unconditional love

was selfless

Until i

admitted to myself

i couldn't let you go

That i

can't live without you

I think i

convinced myself

that we could only

be happy together

The truth is

happiness can be found

in many different places

And you may find it

without me

That's what broke my heart the most.
