but i loved you

maybe in another life, i will see you in another city far away from the place where life broke your heart when you were gentle and warm. i will see you under the sun, while you let its rays kiss your cheeks; i will come and say, “hi.”
in another life, if i’ll see you again i will follow my heart. and if it’ll lead me to you, i will dive in and give it all; all the love that i failed to offer you in this life, because we both know you deserved more than what i gave you.
i loved you,
remember that.
between quiet moments, i fell in love with you. during loud times, i fell in love with you. i wasn’t as brave as what you were, but i loved you. it wasn’t as great as the oceans and wasn’t high as the skies, but i knew that in my heart, i was madly in love with you.

No remorse.
This lack of guilt. This lack of regret.
I’ve seen it before. That same look in her eyes.
She will leave me again and I will ask for more.

I don’t know if I’m a glutton for her punishment
or just pavlovian to the pain,
because I still find comfort in all of her beauty
and even in the ugliness she left when she went away.

But I’ve grown tired of her ghost,
and how it rings in our past with the shake of relentless chains,
haunting the space between who I wish to be and who I am today.
I can’t be with her and for the life of me,
I just can’t seem to push her away,
So I resign, lonely in love and hopeful upon this road
that she’ll relieve me of her ghost somewhere along the way

There’s a suit between love and hate
The jury arrives in rows of eight
Religion arrives with colour and race
Politics displeased demands to be the ace
Culture and sports side with love and play
Achilles, olives and even Cassius clay
Tribe and caste vote to tell a lie
The jury rises, alas we have a tie!

The night is the blanket of the stars
All said and done, we all bear scars
Even the sky bleeds, we call it rain
So learn the trick and embrace the pain
Everything comes to those who wait
Time and chance will set the bait
Fuel the fire and **** the flame
Memories and dreams are not the same

Love is not complicated
People are
Love is merely an emotion
Shared between two hearts
It's the responsibility of the two individuals who share this love
To make sure it doesn't depart

Love is not difficult
People are
Love is simply an action
Shown between two lovers
Whose souls are intricately intertwined
This beautiful action should be affectionately shown forever

Love is not painful
People are
Love is a magnificent healer
It's felt between two kindred spirits
That has been broken and needs mending
Real love has the power to release pain
So the bond two people share can strengthen

Love is not bad
Love is not boastful
Love is not manipulative
Love is not fickle

Love is not a liar
Love is not a joke
Love is not confused
Love is not deceptive
