✩ How to Unlove Someone ✩

✩ How to Unlove Someone ✩

My fingers shake

As I type the words

Into my laptop,

But Google doesn't have an answer.

"How to unlove someone"

Maybe I can't,

Not if it was real.

If it mattered,

I may never truly

Let him go.

I haven't cried that hard in a long time.

My heart physically aches,

And I don't know how to make it stop.

"How to unlove someone"

I wish there was a manuscript

Or a guidebook

Because God only knows

How much I love you.

Things were so much simpler

Before you.

I didn't spent an hour

Crying in the shower

And half a day

Faking okay.

You messed everything up

Because I never saw

You coming.

And God only knows

What a plot twist you were...

I wish I'd never met you.

But it's not your fault

That I broke my own heart

Falling for you.

I let myself fall

Even though I knew

You wouldn't catch me.

You were my favorite dream

And my worst nightmare.

"How to unlove someone"

You weren't my first love,

But you might as well have been.

You weren't the first person to break my heart,

But you might as well have been.
