Do you remember when you thought you loved me?
The confused expression on my face must’ve been disheartening
I didn’t understand
You were so beautiful
So smart
So absolutely amazing
I was just a girl
Riddled with scars
Afraid of failure
Already burnt out
It killed me when I realized
You weren’t in love
You were exposed to so many unattainable expectations
It wasn’t love
It was hope of love
Hope of at least meeting expectations
You were already flying above expectations, my dear
I love you
