Maybe I was just drowning in the thought of you, Of what I made myself think was you. I didn't see any flaws And if they tried to appear I'd just cover them with tape and say they were okay. That I was fine with whatever pain you made me go through. But that's a lie only I can admit. It was a truth for so long in my head, That I didn't really know the possibility of this. Of all this being what it is. It's all inside my head, That "I've never loved someone like you", It's all in my head. Ate me alive for 3 months, Until now, When I realize, I'm not your food, Or anyone's food. I'm not food at all. And I'm not going to let this feeling eat me anymore. I quit love. I quit this self lie. I hope I don't ever see you again.
