To the one I thought I loved:
You were perfect
As perfect as anything
That could bring so much happiness into a life
Like a break through of sun during the rain
Or a bird singing happily through the rolling thunder
Or the moment of silence among all the noise.
You were PERFECT.
You were mine
You were the one I thought I was going to spend the rest of my days with
You were the one I loved, or so I thought.
And, oh my gosh, the way you made me feel
The bubbling happiness you made me feel
The genuine smile that always came on my sad face when you walked in
The laugh that hadn't been heard in years.
You were PERFECT.
You were EVERYTHING.
You said all those words,
Those words I only wished someone would say to me,
The ones only the fictional characters I read about said
The words that made me feel beautiful .
Mean words exist too though.
And, lord, your kisses
As light as a feather
And as deep and endless as the ocean
As loving as an honest man
Oh how wonderful they were.
Your soft lips made me feel so many emotions even in just a peck.
You were PERFECT.
You were EVERYTHING.
You said all those WORDS.
You had those soft LIPS.
But in order for something to be perfect
There must be something bad.
Everything includes good along with all the bad.
Pretty words had an opposite of words that can tear you apart in a second.
And lips, those lips that delivered the much loving kisses, can also bite.
To the one I thought I loved:
I thought I loved you.
I was sure I loved you.
Until you one day did something so horrid it made me step back for a while and realise
I wasn't in love with YOU.
I was in love with the image I had of the perfect person in my head.
And as I sat on the cold, hard ground,
Tears streaming down my face,
Shaking uncontrollably
My hand caressing my cheek that was already starting to bruise- from that HORRID thing you DARED to do-
My blood boiling from my sudden hatred of you, unable to stand the thought that you knew me most intimately and knew me most vulnerably,
You knew all my secrets and confessions,
You knew I thought I loved you
It was there and then I realised
Everything;
That I didn't love you.
And you certainly didn't love me.
That those words were fake and empty.
Those kisses were purely out of lust.
And those three empty words, that made me go all jelly, were meaningless.
And poof
Suddenly my world had changed
(for the better).
To the one I thought I loved:
I really, really hope you don't have a good life.
