I never expected you.
Never expected to meet you.
Never expected to know you.
Never expected to love you.
Never expected to lose you.
I never expected to know your mind as well as I do.
I never expected to know your body as well as I do.
The way your thoughts work and how they are all connected.
The way your muscles curve on your shoulder blades,
Or the scars that define your hands.
I never expected to know the warmth that spreads through my body when your arms are wrapped around me.
I never expected go know how it feels when your lips are curved into a smile against mine.
I never expected to love you as deeply as I do.
Or as I did,
I'm still working on that part.
I never in a million years would think it was possible for you to love me the way you did.
Yes, I italicized the word did. Because it is past tense.
You don't love me anymore. And that's completely okay.
I never expected you to.
Just like I never expected I would lose you,
I never expected you would love me.
