i've recently come
to the heart-shattering conclusion
that i do not
and never did
love you
i only loved
how you made me feel
on lonely nights
you behaved as if i put
the starts in the sky
the leaves on trees
the petals on roses
the fish in the sea
i loved it when you told me
you'd always be there
you lied when you said
you'd never let go of my hand,
and i lied when i told you
my hand was only made for yours to hold
because here i am,
without you by my side
and i think i'm going to be okay
i think i always knew
you'd eventually let go
