What is Love?

I thought it was me and you. I really did. I built my life around us. Our forever. I chose you again and again. Over everything: colleges, vacations- over my own happiness.

You were my happiness.

I couldn’t see it, couldn’t see what was staring me right in the face. I couldn’t see how you avoided my eyes and changed the subject when I talked about our future. I couldn’t see how you were always on your phone, but you never texted me. You were always talking, but never to me. You never told me. Why didn’t you tell me?

I didn’t know we had no forever. I didn’t know that, over everything, you wouldn’t choose me. I didn’t know that you found your happiness in her.

What is love?

I didn’t know. I don’t know.
