the ones before
there have been guys before you,
who’ve danced sweelty in my head.
The ones who never understood me,
And never noticed how I bled.
I held the pieces of their hearts
yet they were never able to hold my soul.
and I fixed their open wounds
but they never made me whole.
you see, the guys before you,
I loved them, intensly, like a child.
and just like I did with you,
I fell in love with the way they smiled.
The thing is, I thought I loved them
as if I had never known love before.
but in hindsight, I wonder if i ever did.
or if they were just so easy to fall for.
With you, I suppose it feels so different.
as if loving you is like breathing.
If I never had faith in the universe before
then seeing you was like believing.
Yet once upon a time,
I was wrong about them too.
but I hope there will never come a time,
when I realize I didn’t love you.
