I thought we were done

Why are you still running through my mind?
I thought we were over.
Done.
For good.
But I still find you showing up in my dreams..
And sitting in my mind.
And never.
Leaving.
"Friends"
Why did it hurt?
Why did my chest tighten when we said,
We didn't know what to do.
Why did it start to hurt when you said
"I love you"
Why did I hold on for so long?
Why did I fuck up so badly?
Why did I still want you to call me yours?
They told me you were bad news.
"He'll play you"
They said.
"He's just gonna hurt you"
They said.
"I love him, he's perfect"
I replied.
Why did I spend hours crying on the phone?
Why does the thought of someone else making you
Smile.
Laugh.
Feel.
The way I used to.
Hurt so damn much?
Why did I love you?
Why was I different?
Why couldn't I hate you?
Why can't I stop thinking about us.
Why can't I hate you?
Why did you break your promise?
