I don’t know why I don’t love you like I used to. Time has passed and I feel less and less strongly. And you say you haven’t changed But maybe that’s the problem. I feel like I’ve changed, I’m not exactly sure who I am right now, Not that I’ve ever felt very sure. I feel like I don’t know anything. This no longer feels exciting. I no longer feel like you’re helping me grow, I no longer feel like you’re part of what helps me Be me. I feel like I’m shedding this skin, And you’re still wearing the one you were nine months ago. It feels rough to my new skin, Makes me itch, Makes me restless. I don’t know why I don’t love you like I used to. Maybe I’m not the same me I used to be. I’m looking ahead, And you’re still looking at me.

Help me understand

I've fallen out of love with someone I hold very dear, who I care very much about, and I can't nail down why. I'm lost, I'm angry, and I just wish I knew what was going on.
