Not anymore

To you my first love,

the one who I shared my secrets with.

To you,

my first love,

who made me believe that I was enough.

To you,

my first love,

who made me fall in love with the idea of love.

To you,

I raise my glass in honour of.

For many things would have happened

If I didn’t meet you.

But,

my dear first love,

It’s this truth I utter now;

Although your eyes felt like home

and hands were an extension of my own,

I say with most sincere regret,

I will not hold you.

Not anymore.

You see,

I need to look after my second love.

For,

you broke me and now I’m mending myself,

and

I swear that’s better

than not loving at all.

- I’m sorry, but now I don’t yearn for you
