Stories Of Another World

Loved.

We met by chance. I remember that day like it was yesterday, you smiled and your eyes sparkled like the starry night.

I knew then that we didn't meet by chance. It was faith that brought us together.

I liked you.

I liked the way your eyes sparked.
I liked the way your voice sounded, so smooth in my ears.
I liked the way you smiled at me.

I liked the way you talked about the things you liked and your existence radiated a beam of hope, as if you were leading me out of the dark.

I liked the way you sang.
I liked the way you danced like a dork, without a care in the world.
I liked the way your hand felt in mine.
I liked the way you warmed me with a single hug.
I liked the way your heart beat below my ear when we laid together at night.

I liked you.

But then...

Then I Loved You.

I Loved You.

I Loved You for the way you held me.
I Loved You for the way you kissed me.
I Loved You for the man you were.
I Loved you because you were you.

Our fights, our tears, our love, our fears. Everything.
Everything with you,
Was a Dream.

Oh I Loved You.
I Loved You more than life itself.

You said you love me too.
My heart leapt to the sky, landing amongst the stars, with joy.

A moment with you was all I needed.
One smile and everything was good.
One kiss and everything was bright.
One hug and the sun was warm.
One love.
Your love, is I all I want.

I Loved you.

Did you?

Did you love me when you left?
Did you love me when you were with him?
Did you love me when you went to find yourself in the arms of someone else?

Did you love me when you broke my heart and shattered it's pieces across the world,
so that I will never get it back?

You came home with hickeys and scratches on your back.
You came back smelling like cheap pleasures and your eyes never shined like they did way back;
Back when we met.

That night when you left home with a quick kiss and your smile nearly gone,

I knew.

I knew you weren't mine for long.
Your heart was gone.
And I fell.

I fell from the stars that you had lifted me in.
I fell from the sky that now seem as dull as your eyes.
I fell from cloud 9.

Like a meteor I crashed to the ground and broke everything we had built.

My body hurt.
My heart ached.
My legs couldn't stand.
My hands trembled.
My head pounded.
And yet...
Nothing compared to the way you hurt me.
Because...

I Loved You.
I still do.

Do you?
