"I adore you"
I did, I meant it ever time.
"I love you."
The words came straight from my heart
You were the only person in such a long time
To make me feel something positive
To bring a smile to my face
I laughed harder than I had in a while,
When I first started talking to you,
I was perpetually happy
Even though I knew...
That it would end.
I knew full well that everything good comes to a close
I was lying to myself the whole time,
Deceiving myself for the sake of happiness.
And so,
It was no surprise to me at all
When I found out you were unfaithful
It still hurt, though.
It hurt like hell.
It was like being stabbed through the back
A million times over
Like walking on hot coals
Burning in the heat of a thousand fires.
It hurt. More than anything.
I was a fool, I had grown dependent on you.
I thought you would be there tomorrow
It still burned, though,
When you weren't.
