why do you have to lie about love?

you told me that
it is love when i can
see someone in a slow motion
and yes, i believed you
because i witnessed how you
walk slowly towards me,
but right after you passed me,
you were in a fast forward motion,
walking furious towards her
and embrace her like forever.

you told me that
it is love when i can
feel butterflies kicking
inside my tummy,
i believed you, still,
because i felt it the
moment you smiled at me
but later on, i realized
that it wasn't butterflies
screaming inside me,
it was my heart,
breaking and calling me
to stop me from
loving you.

your words are just too powerful
that i couldn't visualised the lie
inside your sweet rhymes.
