I Don't Love You Anymore

When you kiss, it feels like love
it always feels like love and
suddenly, somebody is in love
with your laugh
and your eyes
the way you eat fruit salads
the way your smile is always crooked.
they're in love and maybe
you're someone who should be loved
someone who deserves it
but then there's the tidal wave
after three years or three months or two months and six days,
when suddenly they look at you
and your laugh isn't anything special
and the way your eyes line with laughter at the sides
no longer does anything for them
and they never even liked fruits anyways
it's falling and it's screaming and it's
then why the fuck did you say all those things in the first place,
oh god it's becoming the one they used to love or
at least you think because
well you're not really sure how they felt
not anymore but
they had to have meant it, right? right?
it's nostalgic and addictive
and it's your ripped up heart on the ground
it's remembering the way crooked smiles used to make them laugh
and now makes them look away.
