It’s hurt; I Quit!

In the beginning, the affection was real
Burning with love and attention
Given to me in my loneliness
When I no longer believed in love

I didn’t ask
I didn’t hope
But you came, as if it were real
As if love were flying through the air

Stabbing the heart
Sometimes sweet
But often bitter

Unpredictable
When you said love was in the air

Then came the distance
Darkness
Fading away
Far away
And disappearing

Until one day, you were gone

I realized
It was just a game

A beautiful illusion
A feeling I mistook for love

Perhaps you never meant to stay
Perhaps I was the only one holding on
Perhaps I was the only one who called it love

And somehow,
I was trapped

In a one-sided love

So, thank you
For making believe again, in love

But this time,
I choose to quit.
