you and me, we were like magnets.
whether, we were a few miles apart, or a few continents apart, we always found our way back to each other.
for the first time in my life, I felt like I belonged somewhere.
In your arms.

In your arms, is where I wanted to live for the rest of my life. I wanted to wake up in them and go to sleep, in them.
I fell so hard and so fast, it was so unexpected but it's the best decision I've ever made. Being with you.

Being with you, makes me free. It makes me believe in the fact that, there is indeed, something called "true love."
You were my sole reason to breathe, to exist in this world we call home, to be a part of this living hell. You made it easier to breathe. You made everything easy. It felt too effortless.

It felt too effortless to lead a life like that with you. You always prioritized me, but during that time, I failed to acknowledge how you felt, what you thought. Out of the blue, you wanted to leave me. You felt unhappy.

You felt unhappy, in our relationship. You felt like it was all work and no love. Have I ever felt like my world has shattered? No, not until then.
The person I believed was my soulmate, wasn't happy with me.
And just like that, you left me, turned your back on me, but I can never blame you, because it's my fault. I was too absorbed in our bubble, our illusion of love, that I never stopped to think about how you were feeling.

Now, as I lay, on yet a another starless night, I wonder,
did you really love me? Or did I fool myself into believing that you did?
